Dragon Violin Cup.
As the most prestigious cello competition in Tian Chao held every two years, it follows an invitation system, meaning that ordinary people can't directly apply. In each province, there are usually only 2-3 spots, recommended by the province's Music Association and Cello Association.
Besides the default advancement of provincial competition champions to the next round, one or two of the strongest cellists in the province will be specially invited.
You could say,
with its extremely high entry barrier and brutally challenging elimination system.
The Dragon Violin Cup is always recognized among the top tier in the music world.
Winning the championship at the Dragon Violin Cup might not directly earn someone the title of "Tian Chao's Number One."
But "Tian Chao's Number One" must have won the Dragon Violin Cup.
Such is the status of the Dragon Violin Cup.
