    <g> In that case, let's give it a try. In no special order:

    Chopin Concours - is transparant: we know who voted what
    Tchaikovsky Concours - a Russian affair
    Cliburn Competition - dictated by teachers
    Leeds Competition - marred by English musical taste
    Montreal Concours - ?
    Concours Reine Elisabeth - promotes Belgian pianists, if given the slightest chance
    What is the point? We all know the system is rigged! <g>

    A whistleblower? Veronika is not the first to blame competitions for his/her inability to win them. There are also those who blamed competitions because they won them but then failed to make a career.
