The winners will receive high cash prizes - 6 main prizes (three in each category - female and male), as well as honorary mentions. The directors (invited to judge the third stage performances) will fund prizes in the form of participation in opera performances. The Competition program promotes Polish music literature, with particular emphasis on the works of Polish composers.
