The prizes and awards for the 2025 Van Cliburn International Piano Competition

The Cliburn initiated Adopt-A-Competitor in 1997, in collaboration with Fort Worth ISD, to give children a direct link to the Van Cliburn International Piano Competition. Competitors volunteered to present concerts to local elementary school students, answer questions, and take pictures. Students then tracked their competitor’s progress throughout the Competition. Since the program’s inception, North Texas kids have met and learned about 66 Cliburn competitors, including five medalists.

The Cliburn and Sundance Square partner to host a Texas-sized two-day, free event on June 6–7 to celebrate the conclusion of the 2025 Van Cliburn International Piano Competition.

This year’s Competition sees the launch of exclusive live recordings available in Spatial Audio with Dolby Atmos, alongside Cliburn-curated playlists, and a live album release for each 2025 medalist, via record label Platoon.

Hear every note from wherever you are: there are more ways than ever to watch and listen to the Cliburn.
