The competition, judged by a distinguished panel of world-class artists and educators, focused on the violin this year, across three categories by age. While centered on the music by Mozart, the repertoire also included works by Bach, Paganini, among others, alongside a dedicated program of Chinese works. This balance of tradition and innovation not only tested technical skills but also challenged the candidates' artistic expression. In the end, 11 winners were selected across the three categories.

The Closing Concert brought together the Salzburg Chamber Soloists and four prize-winners, who delivered a vivid night combining Mozart classics with Chinese masterpieces, to great acclaim from the audience. Beyond the competition, a dozen cross-over events were held in Hengqin and Macao, attracting thousands of participants, strengthening both aesthetic education for the young people and regional cultural integration. As the curtain falls, anticipation already builds for the next Hengqin International Mozart Competition for Young Musicians, which will return every year to continue its mission.
