There is a great desire for a return to normality, as well as for opportunities to meet and for a relaunch of the economy related to the market of musical instruments \u2013 string instruments in particular. In these months of forced isolation, guitars and musicians have certainly faced an enormous suffering, even if the hope is that they have not remained completely silent \u2026 on the contrary, we hope they have been practicing with passion to be ready for a restart that, we are sure, will have a great impact.

A series of other awards and mentions will be given to all participants, who will also have the opportunity to perform in a context that will include the presence of numerous journalists and industry professionals. A great international artist will be special guest and \u201ctutor\u201d of the participants, and will also be part og the jury.
\nThe 2021 edition will also be included in the call of Istituto Nuovo IMAIE for the promotion of award-winning artists. If the competition \u201cNew Sounds of Acoustic Music\u201d will be accepted in the call, the winners will be further promoted by the Istituto Nuovo IMAIE circuit and will participate in other events related to it.<\/p>\n

On the occasion of the competition, there will be a moment to remember Eng. Ferdinando Canale<\/strong>, founder of Acus-sound Engineering, recently passed away and never forgotten.<\/p>\n
