Applicants selected for the semifinals may be accompanied by the pianist provided by the Contest Board. Each applicant may spend up to 20 minutes with the pianist in order to agree on the composition to play. However, it will be possible for applicants to be accompanied by a pianist of their own choice (no fees for the Contest Board will be applicable), and that option will need to be specified on the initial application form. All performances will be open to the public; the final performance will be held as a public concert on 3 December 2011 at 3:00pm at "Auditorium Bianca D'Aponte" in Aversa, Italy. The winner will play at a public concert on 3 December 2011 at 9:00pm at the "Teatro Cimarosa" (Piazza principe amedeo) in Aversa, Italy. The judgement of the Panel is final. The Panel reserves the right not to bestow any award in case performance by all applicants is deemed as artistically unsatisfactory. In case of any controversy, the only valid rules will be those written in Italian. The court of jurisdiction for any litigation will be the Law Courts of Santa Maria Capua Vetere, Italy.
