Moscow International David Oistrakh Violin Competition is a biennial competition for young violinists held since 2006 in memory of David Oistrakh, organized by the non-commercial David Oistrakh Charity Foundation.[1] The competition, supported by Moscow government’s Department of Culture, the Russian Federation Ministry of Culture and the Moscow Conservatory, is a member of the European Union of Music Competitions for Youth.[2]
The competition aims to popularize and develop the best traditions of Russian violin performance, and to discover young musicians. The fourth competition will take place in Moscow from 30 September to 10 October 2010.
There are three categories distinguished by the age of the participant on the starting date of the competition: Category "A" 10-13, Category "B" 14-17, and Category "C" 18-28. Once an individual has placed first in a category, he or she is not permitted to again compete within that age group. For each category, there are three ranked prizes and three diplomas, each of which receives a cash award. First prize awards range from 1000 Euros in Category "A" to 10,000 Euros in Category "C".
