Zbigniew Seifert International Jazz Violin Competition (Międzynarodowy Jazzowy Konkurs Skrzypcowy im. Zbigniewa Seiferta)

A music competition held every two years organised by the Zbigniew Seifert Foundation in Warsaw. The organiser of the competition is looking for an individual in the calibre of Zbigniew Seifert (1946-1979), one of the most important Polish jazz musicians, gifted with an exceptional talent, whose untimely death ruined his international career. The competition is open to violinists, violists and cellists from all over the world who play jazz and improvised music, up to the age of 38. Participants qualified for the semi-final and final stage are required to present, apart from free compositions, also works by Zbigniew Seifert.
