LOGOS
The Association's name descends from a keyboard-which stands for all music-since the association exists FOR music and without it it wouldn't exist!
The tone of blue remains the same as the previous logo, to symbolize continuity in the goals of the Association: spreading contemporary and classical music.
It is marked by the Treble clef (or G key), a universal symbol of music, which is familiar to those who use it to play but also to the general public.
It is normally placed at the beginning of the staff, and in the same way the Competition intends to be a starting point for young musicians. In addition, the Treble clef indicates the position of the notes and the pitch of the related sounds, as within the world of music, in general, and within the Competition, specifically, there are rules that one must follow in order to achieve excellence.
