2006 Worldvision Musician Contest

The 2006 Worldvision Musician Contest was the eighth edition of Worldvision Musician Contest, and was held in New York City, United States. This was the first contest in which participating countries withdrew. After being a runner-up for many contests, Norway finally achieved their first victory.

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
Returning from the 2005 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, the Press Award and the Sportsmanship Award.
