The 24-year-old Veljko Nenadić won first prize at the award ceremony of the 2022 competition for composers, and his work will be on the repertoire of next year's round for violinists.

Violin—piano duos were submitted for the 2022 round organised for composers, with violinists Ágnes Langer and Barnabás Kelemen as well as pianist József Balog performing at the gala.

A total of 98 violin-piano duos are submitted, awarded ones will be decided by a prestigious international jury chaired by Oscar-winning American composer John Corigliano.

The members of the string quartets that won the top three prizes - including the Hungarian musicians of the Vienna-based Chaos String Quartet - unanimously praised the professional organization of the competition, and all of them feel that Bartók's music has opened up new vistas for them, even though they have encountered it before.
