Volunteering with The Sydney

Volunteer

The Sydney proudly stands among the greatest piano competitions of the world. In 2021, the competition will happen – still with 32 incredibly talented young competitors from around the world, still with career-changing prizes and opportunities, and still with thrilling, rigorous competitive rounds – but now online.  

If you would like to volunteer with us for the Sydney International Online Piano Competition from 1–18 July 2021, please submit your application on this page. We’ll have various roles to suit everybody and, given the online nature of the competition this year, will be accepting applications from those who reside outside Australia who wish to volunteer.

Once you’ve got your application in, we will contact you once we have the new role descriptions ready. You can also indicate your interest in volunteering in the build up to the competition through this form.
