Il-fatt li ssir kull 4 snin, iżżid element ta' agoniżmu kbir fost il-parteċipanti. Din is-sena f'Lulju 2013 saret is-17 edizzjoni ta' dan il-konkors prestiġjuż. Ta' min jgħid li jkun hemm taqsimiet differenti għat-tipi ta' baned differenti li jeżistu. Kull Kategorija terġa tinqasam f'livelli differenti, skont in-numru ta' mużiċisti u l-professjonalità tagħhom fil-mużika. Ich-Champions tal-għola kategorija huma il-Koninklijke Harmonie Sainte Cecile (Eijsden, Olanda). L-istess banda rebħet ukoll l-aħħar edizzjoni tal-2009. L-edizzjoni li jmiss se ssir fl-2017.

Il-Konkors ta' Valencia huwa wkoll prestiġjuż għalkemm mhux daqs Kerkrade tal-Olanda. Huwa konkors prestiġjuż ukoll li jmur lura għall-aħħar tas-seklu dsatax. Għal kuntrarju tal-Konkors Internazzjonali ta' Kerkrade, dan ta' Valencia jsir kull sena. Dan il-konkors huwa miftuħ biss għall-baned sinfoniċi jiġifieri 'Wind Orchestras'. Anke f'dan il-konkors insibu kategoriji differenti, skont il-livell tal-baned parteċipanti. B'kollox inisbu 4 livelli: livell Onorarju li hija l-iktar kategorija prestiġjuża, l-ewwel diviżjoni, it-tieni diviżjoni u t-tielet diviżjoni. Dan il-konkors bħal ta' Kerkrade isir ukoll f'nofs Lulju. Din is-sena 2013 ir-rebbieħa tal-ogħla diviżjoni kienu BANDA SINFÓNICA UNIÓ MUSICAL DE LLIRIA (VALENCIA). Dawn kif ġew klassifikati:
1. BANDA SINFÓNICA UNIÓ MUSICAL DE LLIRIA (VALENCIA) http://www.unionmusicaldeliria.com/

Flicorno D'Oro International Contest , Riva Del Garda, Trentino, Italy.
Flicorno D’Oro Contest
Din il-kompetizzjoni fuq livell Internazzjonali għall-baned simfoniċi tmur lura għas-sena 1992. Din il-kompetizzjoni tiġi organizzata kull sena bejn Marzu u April fir-Riva Del Garda, Trentino fl-Italja. Hija wkoll kompetizzjoni maqsuma f'diversi kategoriji: Eccellenza, Superiore, 1ma Categoria, 2da Categoria, 3za Categoria u Banda Giovanile. L-ogħla kategorja hija dik Eccellenza. F'dan il-konkors hemm sezzjoni wkoll fejn banda tista' tesebixxi ruħha mingħajr ma tieħu sehem. Il-vantaġġ ta' din is-sezzjoni hija li l-ġurija tagħti rapport bil-miktub fuq il-livell tal-banda. Għalkemm f'kull Kategorija dejjem ikun hemm rebbieħ u għotja ta' flus, it-trofej prestiġjuż jingħata lil dik il-banda li ġġib l-ogħla punteġġ, irrispetivament mil-liema kategorija tkun ġejja.
