The winners have been announced. Wenying Wu is awarded first prize and Merle Hillmer & Ashley Wagner receive joint second. The judges were John Kitchen, Gerard Brooks, and Ann Elise Smoot. Announcing the results, John Kitchen said there were "some truly outstanding performances.”

[The IAO @the_iao]

It's bizarre listening to the entries and the competitors not being able to hear the applause...

We are now hearing the last of the six finalists.

Looking forward to the adjudication.

[The IAO @the_iao]

Apologies for the typos. Thumbs aren't the best tools.... Wenying Wu closes the competition and the 5-minute break is now over....

[The IAO @the_iao]

Another 5-minite break having heard James Short perform. Next is Ashley Wagner before Wengying Wu closes the competition and adjudication takes place... exciting times 😀
