The deadline for applications for pianists and chamber ensembles is the 15^th of February, 2023. The prize pool of this year’s edition is EUR 100,000.

The International Competition of Polish Music promotes Polish music of the 19^th and 20^th century. The third edition of the event will take place from 2 to 9 July 2023 at the Artur Malawski Philharmonic in Rzeszów. 

The aim of the competition is to promote talented musicians who decide to include in their repertoire lesser-known works by Polish composers, especially works less frequently present in the repertoire of Polish and foreign artists. 

Six main prizes will be awarded in each category. In 2023, the prize of 1,000 euros will be awarded to a performance of a work by one of the following composers: in the Pianists category - Antoni Stolpe, Eugeniusz Pankiewicz (125^th  eath anniversary), Raul Koczalski (75^th death anniversary), and in the chamber ensembles category - also by Antoni Stolpe, Witold Maliszewski (150^th birthday anniversary) and Antoni Szałowski (50^th  death anniversary). 

Special non-statutory prizes will also be awarded in the Competition, including in the form of concerts in philharmonic, cultural and artistic institutions, as well as media, financial and material prizes.
