We enclose the results of the London International Chopin Competition for Young Pianists 2026 below.
​
Due to the large number of outstanding pianists, the jury decided to introduce additional distinctions in recognition of the high artistic level demonstrated.
In addition to the Category Winners, we have therefore awarded:
-
Highly Commended – recognising performances of an exceptionally high standard
-
Commended – recognising strong and commendable performances
​​​
All of the performances were incredible and at such high level.
​
We congratulate all of our participants and we hope you see you again next year.
