Sponsors and Supporters

Without our dedicated sponsors past and present we would not have such a long history of encouraging and engaging with emerging artists from near and far. We would like to acknowledge the ongoing contributions of all our sponsors and supporters, specifically the support of the Townsville City Council. 

In 2012 we premiered a special work commissioned by ACVC ‘Concerto for Young Pianist’ by Larry Sitsky. This work has been dedicated to us with sole publishing rights. The support of young musicians being a serious objective of the competition, we sought to encourage young pianists in ensemble playing, something which is more easily accessed by orchestral musicians. An additional award was sponsored for young musicians by Mrs Dinie Gaemers, Youth Development Award. This award is supported by Arties Music.

We also have a strong partnership with our community orchestra, the Barrier Reef Orchestra, with our open winners being soloists in their concert series each year since its establishment in 2000.

We would also like to thank the teachers and accompanists of all participants for their dedication and hard work, and the participants themselves for making each year an exciting and memorable event.

There are many ways you can support the Competition, from sponsoring an award category to volunteering during the competition.
