The World Piano Competition Inc. is a not-for-profit arts organization based in Cincinnati, Ohio, dedicated to the promotion of classical piano music. The organization has recently hosted its 57th international piano competition, yet was officially founded in 1985 by Gloria Ackerman.[1][2] Both the international Artist Division and regional Young Artist Division competitions are held annually at the University of Cincinnati College-Conservatory of Music, an All-Steinway School,[3] and winners in both competitions receive cash prizes and recital opportunities in New York City.[4]. Finalists in the Artist Division competition perform with the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra.[5]
Awadagin Pratt, Associate Professor of Music at the College-Conservatory of Music, took on the role of artistic director in 2012.
