This year, for the first time, the University of Music Nuremberg is organising the Akustika Music Competition in cooperation with the Federal Guild of Musical Instrument Craftsmen, AFAG and Musik Klier. The competition is open to the best students from all German Music Universities.

The final round of the Akustika Music Competition in the Concert Guitar category took place on 13 March 2025 (Jury: Anne Haasch, Johannes Tonio Kreusch, Prof. Rainer Kotzian).

The first prize of 1,000 euros was awarded to Panagiotis Tzortzis, and the second prize of 500 euros went to Alexander Muñoz Godoy - both NUM Franz Liszt Weimar. Due to the high standard of the participants in the final round, jury member and festival director Johannes Tonio Kreusch awarded a scholarship for the Hersbruck International Guitar Festival in August 2025 as the 3rd prize.

Parallel to the music competition, the opening of the akustika music fair will take place on 4 April 2025, where the prize-winning instruments will be presented by the winners of the music competition.
