The 2016 edition, for singers, is being postponed to 2017, as the organizers take “a period necessary to recast the competition … [a year] to rethink, rebuild, and offer a new form” adapted to new media. The annual event in Paris has awarded prizes to pianists and violinist, in alternating years, since 1943; singers were added to the rotation in 2011. (in French; Google Translate version here)
