The applications will be examined by the Competition’s organisers and the programme will be examined by an Artistic Committee specially designated for this purpose. No more changes can be made to the programme, except where required by the Artistic Committee. Candidates will be informed individually of the results of this selection process by 15 March 2012 at the latest.
