Question 2

How are World Top 50 Musicians ranked?

The 23-24 Ranking Score is determined by adding the 23-24 Seasonal Competitions Score and the Annual Competition (Musician of the Year 2024) Score.

23-24 Season 1-4 Competitions Score
*The score for each prize in every season, for each major instrument, and within each category is calculated independently:
 • Platinum Prize: +6
 • Gold Prize: +5
 • Silver Prize: +3
 • Bronze Prize: +1
 • Special Prize: +1
 • Prize in Master, Young Master, Chamber Music, or Concerto category: +1

Musician of the Year 2024 (Annual Competition) Score
*The annual competition score is used for the Top 50 Musician's ranking only. These scores are not award points:
 • First Prize: +6
 • Second Prize: +5
 • Third Prize: +4
 • Annual Maestro Prize: +3
 • Musician of the Year Award: +3
 • Annual Special Prize/Award: +2
 • Fans' Favourite Award: +2
