The jury had plenty of options to deal
with the mediocre level of this year's
Clickburn piano rodeo.

The jury could have declined to award a
first prize. It could have declined to
award first and second prizes. It could
have decline to award any prizes.

It could have promoted fewer candidates
to the finals. It could have declined to
promote anyone to the finals.

They are all sticking their heads in the
sand for commercial reasons.

Case closed.
