GENERAL RULES

Winners of the Reno-Tahoe Piano Competition are selected based on exceptional musicianship, technical mastery, communication ability as a performer, originality, spontaneity, individuality, and versatility. The judges are given the flexibility to select winners based on these criteria.
There will be two assigned judges from two areas: piano and composition.
At the conclusion of the competition, winners of each division will be announced to the public. Their names and photos will be posted on the website.
The order of appearance of pianists will be determined and scheduled arbitrarily and will be notified about one week prior to the competition.
Each contestant will be judged by a wide variety of parameters such as musicianship, technical mastery, communication ability as a performer, originality, spontaneity, individuality, and versatility.
The decision of the judges is final and not subject to questions, revisions, or appeals.
All works are to be performed from memory.
All contestants must bring in their own legal copies of the repertoire, including original compositions. Failure to do so will not prevent the contestant from competing but will result in disqualification from placing.
RTPC reserves the right to audio record, video record, photograph, and live-cast to the public as well as display the winners on the website and social media as such.
Although RTPC strives to provide the participants with the most memorable experience possible, there could be an unforeseeable cause beyond its control that prevents RTPC from carrying out the event. RTPC shall have the right to postpone, cancel, reschedule, or terminate the event without liability and shall be relieved of its obligations to the participants. Only if the event is canceled or terminated before the conclusion of the schedule, RTPC will refund the registration fee. Otherwise, all registrations are final and nonrefundable.

HEALTH

The safety of our staff and participants is our overriding priority. RTPC organizes and carries out the event abiding by the requirements for gatherings in Washoe County during the COVID-19 pandemic.
In order to prevent the spread of the coronavirus and reduce the potential risk of exposure at the event, all in-person participants are required to complete and submit a COVID-19 health screening form prior to entering the event venue. Please do not enter the venue until the screening has been reviewed and the entry has been approved.
The audience is limited to 5 persons in the recital hall where in-person participation is performed. The only audience from the same household of the participant is allowed to enter the recital hall during his/her performance. While no public audience is allowed, RTPC plans to set up a YouTube streaming channel to broadcast the entire event for public viewing.
