A violin making competition where the course is more beneficial than the results. Carve a violin scroll in one day. Become a judge. Everything is transparent.

Recently

The VI. year of this unique event is being prepared intensively. It will take place in June 3 - 7, 2025. The venue will be The Czech Museum of Music, as in 2017. The details of the programme are still being adjusted, however the basis is set clear: Again the scroll carving contest will take place and the competitive instruments (violins after model Stradivari) will be judged by the respected professional jury togethetr with the competitors. Please see the all-star jury here!

We innovate the marking system. As 40 participants and 3 judges mark 40 instruments and 40 scrolls at the same time, the amount of numbers to be calculated is really great. Last time we struggled entering them all manually to the system. Therefore this time each evaluating person will submit his/her points to the system electronically using his/her smart phone, ipad or notebook. Only internet connection will be needed and a link to the relevant form which will be published on this site in time.

Dear applicants and colleagues, we are very pleased with the great interest in our competition. We are surprized how quickly the start list became full. Now the capacity of the contest is complete and the applications are closed.

For reminder, a short documentary from the 2017 Competition
