For the 2022 Van Cliburn International Piano Competition, cash prizes for the three medalists increase by 94% to $100,000 for gold, $50,000 for silver, and $25,000 for bronze. (2017 prizes were $50,000; $25,000; and $15,000, respectively.) This raises total cash prizes to $265,000, with other special prizes.

 

With each edition, we aim to offer to enhanced, more personalized career management services to best support our new winners and to adjust to a constantly changing world. This increase in cash prizes and expanded international exposure was planned long before the current pandemic and the total disruption of the concert industry; but these changes do meet the times, when career creativity and financial soundness have perhaps never been so important.

– Jacques Marquis, president and CEO
