Liszt Academy's competition was elected a member and was praised for its high quality by World Federation of International Music Competitions’ General Assembly. Delegates also showed keen interest in the professional issues of the university's Éva Marton International Singing Competition, which had been a member for three years.

New concert series, a cast of extraordinary performers and programmes await the audience in the next season of the Liszt Academy. The collaboration between the university and the Liszt Ferenc Chamber Orchestra will continue in the new season under the Master Play moniker.

Entries came from 38 countries around the world, from North and South America to the Far East and New Zealand.
