Awards
Each participant receives a transcript with scores and comments which are written by judges in order to exchange their certificates. The participant who gets the highest score in each competition (except the final competition) is awarded with a multicolored silk banner and has a chance of being invited to deliver a performance. The number of runner-ups and the bronze medalists are not limited, so it often can be seen that there are several runners-up and bronze medalists at the same time. The scores of All prize-winners are expected to receive a score of more than 80, or no award is rewarded.
