Virtual Guitar Competition: The Results Are In!
Thank you for all the wonderful video submissions. We received 54 entries, every single one of them fabulous. A special thank you to our esteemed jury, which included Mauro Zanatta (Italy-Mexico), Scott Borg (USA-Australia), and Elisa la Marca (Italy). They reviewed all the videos and poured their heart and soul into creating extensive written feedback for each one of our competitors. We would also like to thank our partners who graciously donated prizes. In addition to cash prizes, each winner will receive Augustine strings, and select winners from each division will receive a special prize package from Classical Guitar Magazine. It includes a one year subscription – that’s six issues in both print and digital formats! – plus a download of Acoustic Guitar. Select prize winners will also receive Sharon Isbin's Classical Guitar Technique Answer Book.
Thank you to our sponsors:
