This International Classical Guitar Competition, which was founded in 1967 in honour of Francisco Tárrega, is for concert guitar players and its purpose is to encourage them to perform pieces by this Castellón composer. It has won a Gold Oscar for the best musical promotion work and the Guitarras Sol, Trujaman and 2019 Insigne de la Música Valenciana awards. The most distinguished musicians and guitarists have attended the Francisco Tárrega International Guitar Competition to form a list of winners that is hard to beat. The Benicàssim International Guitar Competition is the oldest of its kind in Europe.
In 2024 it will be held from 22 to 30 August.
