Dear friends,

We are happy to announce the dates and program of the competition which will take place in terms of the 11th International Veria Guitar Festival-Greece.

With respect to the tradition of the previous years of the festival, the guitar competition aims to provide guitarists the opportunity to show their artistic skills to its full extend. In order to pursue this target we have worked on the following: The entire program selection in the second round of both categories is left on the participants. Also, the first price of the "no age limit” category consists of a financial reward plus two paid concerts in á highly distinguished venue in Greece in addition to a cd-album production by the label "Dissonance records”.

The competitions consists of two categories. A "no age limit” and an "up to 21 years old” one. It will take place in Antoniadios Culture Hall of Veria - Greece between 18 and 21 of April 2012. From February 10 and onwards, you will be able to visit the festival website ( Veria Guitar Festival - Home ) in order to receive information about accommodation, participation fee as well as information concerning masterclasses, concerts, lectures and guitar exhibitions included in the festival.
