various
types of services
that AAF offers.
In short, the main Benefits from being affiliated to AAF can be summarised as follows:
A: Music students will enjoy the details from the competition calendar, plus information regarding repertoire and prize money, accommodation, travel, better insight into the application & preselection process, some advice, the assistance in searching, finding and contacting others, and the opportunity to hand in complaints.
B: Competitions will primarily consider the free publicity important (see also "Services to Musicians and Competitions"), the opportunity of having their competition details reliably forwarded and even personally handed over to interested young musicians, being represented in and linked to this Information Centre which serves as a unique and active meeting place for all young musicians from all over the world, to be mentioned in articles and News messages, the reliable evaluation and unique verification support, the immediate knowledge about other competitions, and the assistance in tracing and contacting others (fine contestants, past laureates, jury members, etc.)
C: Other organisations will find the contacts very useful, as well as the availability of reliable information and competition details, the convenience of approaching laureates, and they might appreciate it to be officially linked to AAF.
