The third prize was won by Marek Kozak from the Czech Republic. The first prize is endowed with 40,000 francs, the second with 30,000 francs and the third with 20,000 francs. 36 musicians were admitted to the Zurich competition.

The Géza Anda Foundation was established in 1978 in memory of the pianist Géza Anda, who died in 1976, by his widow Hortense Anda-Bührle. It aims to promote young pianists in the musical spirit of Géza Anda and has therefore organized an international piano competition in Zurich every three years since 1979. The Géza Anda Foundation undertakes to accompany prizewinners for three years as a mentor and, among other things, to provide performance opportunities.
