The RESULTS of the 9th World Championship in Composing for Individuals WCCI 2022-2024 are published!

The Director’s report:
I would like to express my sincere thanks to the WFCC President, Marjan Kovačević for inviting me to serve as Director, and to the WFCC Presidium and delegates for endorsing his proposal. I am especially grateful to Marco Guida, the WCCI spokesman, for his ongoing support throughout the process. My appreciation also goes to Harry Fougiaxis and Dmitri Turevski for generously sharing their valuable experience from previous editions.

Of course, a special thanks is due to the 40 judges whose outstanding work enabled us to complete the results well ahead of schedule. I should not forget the reserve judges, who were ready to step in if needed. I also acknowledge the supervising panel for their careful review and error checking. Finally, heartfelt thanks to all the composers who submitted entries. Their participation truly made this a world-class and genuinely international competition.
