As in any other respectful competition of the kind the main aim is to bring valuable young talents to limelight, providing a launching pad for exceptional interpretation careers on national and international level.

Besides the value of the financial prizes promised, participating in the contest equals to the opportunity to enter into a job agreement or any other collaboration with ballet companies in Romania and elsewhere abroad. The competition has acquired—in the short-run—a high reputation within the context of choreographic competition worldwide, due both to the prestige of the jury members and the artistic skills as well as the professional quality of the winners.

The jury has been formed of former stars of international ballet—some ballet masters of today, others ballet company managers—like Irek Mukhamedov, Cristina Hamel, Sergiu Stefanschi, Mikhail Tchoupakov, Alexander Hoffman, etc.

The founding manager of the Competition is Mr. Ovidiu Dragoman, also the manager of the Ballet Theatre in Sibiu, he himself a former ballet dancer.
