PRIZES

CLIP wishes to ensure that the financial commitment required of admitted singers does not prevent them from participating in the Competition. For this reason, all admitted candidates (those who pass the pre-selections) who attend the live auditions in Portofino, will receive a scholarship of €500 (five hundred).
