2000 Worldvision Musician Contest

The 2000 Worldvision Musician Contest was the second edition of Worldvision Musician Contest, and was held in Graz, Austria. Including the eight debuting countries last year, Belarus and Norway debuted this year. Austria won for the second year in a row, closely beating out Sweden, who achieved second place again, and newly debuted country Norway.

Format
The procedure is similar to that of the Worldvision Song Contest, except instead of performing songs, the musicians performed pieces on their respective instrument. There is no scoreboard and the other countries themselves do not vote; their respective juries and citizens vote and are given a placing.

Awards
New to the 2000 contest, the audience of the host country would vote after the announcement of the winner on which musician deserves a special prize. The winner of the special prize would receive a certificate and £25,000. Other awards include the Stage Presence Award, the Artist Award and the Press Award. Talk between the WSC committee involved implementing these awards into the 2000 Song Contest.
