Age limits There is quite a variety of age limits at music competitions. In the past, most international piano competitions were intended for musicians up to 30 or 32 years of age. In fact, many people still believe that your ‘competition life’ is over when you become older. However, this is not true. In the graph on the next page, the age ranges are depicted for the competitions in this catalogue that are scheduled for 2025. As can be seen, there are still quite many opportunities for pianists to enter competitions at age 32 and beyond. There are also several international piano competitions without upper age limit , such as the ones in Lamporecchio (Italy), Maisons-Laffitte (France), Campillos (Spain), Paris IMFP , Rzeszów Polish Music , New Orleans (USA), Tokyo ( PTNA and Chopin-Asia ), Budapest Danubia , Hartford Chopin (USA) as well as the Tkaczewski and Zarebski c ompetitions in Poland.
