Exclusive: How the Leeds Piano Competition is rigged for equality

Exclusive: How the Leeds Piano Competition is rigged for equality

We’ve had our attention drawn to two paragraphs in the jury instructions, showing how female contestants receive preferential treatment.

The clauses are these:
4.6 If there are two candidates with equal scores competing for one place
and one is a woman candidate, we ask the Juror to consider advancing her first.

4.20 In the instance of a single gender outcome or an outcome that
significantly reduces the ratio of women to men in the Competition,
there will be a revote for all places.

Got that?

Fair, or unfair?

The finals take place this weekend.
