• Schoenfeld International String Competition will have a scholarship to support part of the travel cost of the live-round candidate from overseas.

• Please note that the scholarship is merit-based, and the amount will be based on the applicants' prescreening performance with notification of the result.

• Applicants (Violin and Cello Divisions) can read the score while playing the sonata or music with piano accompaniment.

• Though it is not strictly required, most applicants will play the unaccompanied works by memory in the prescreening stage.

• Regarding the piece that may have repeat sections, applicants and candidates in the live round may choose not to do the repeats if they want to.

Announcement of the Pre-screening Result: May 16, 2025

STEP 1:  

Sign up for an account via the "Register/Login" column of the website's main page. The applicant may edit and update their information and send the pre-screening video link via the account before the application deadline.  Applicants of the Chamber Music Division will only need to sign up for one account:
            

• If the applicant plans to apply for more than one division, he/she must create an account with a different username/ID for each application.

• Suppose an applicant returns from the previous edition and wants to apply to the Competition again. In that case, he/she must sign up for a new username under the same email address to be eligible for a new application. 

• After you complete the registration form, please click the "Submit my application" button, and a message will appear on the screen indicating your submission is complete.

STEP 2:  

After logging into the account, an applicant can start to send his/her pre-screening video to us via a link to YouTube.  Please click the "Submit" button after you paste the links.  Applicants who cannot access YouTube can send the link to their pre-screening video generated from another platform, such as Tencent/Youku, etc. No application fee is needed for the 6th Schoenfeld International String Competition.

STEP 3:  
Applicants may always log in to the registered account again and renew/update the information and links already submitted (after submission is completed).  The office will not take any information from the applicant's account to the prescreening committee before the announced deadline.

STEP 4:  

Applicants must provide the list of pre-screening repertories, and the personal/ensemble resume (500-800 words) will only be asked after the applicants are admitted or the office needs it.
