# XIII International Chopin Piano Competition

The XIII International Chopin Piano Competition (Polish: XIII Międzynarodowy Konkurs Pianistyczny im. Fryderyka Chopina) took place in Warsaw from October 1–22, 1995. As in the previous competition five years earlier, the first prize was not awarded.

## Awards

The competition consisted of three stages and a final. The first prize was not awarded. Instead, Philippe Giusiano and Alexei Sultanov shared second prize. Sultanov, considered the favourite by the public, refused his award by boycotting the prize-winners' concert.
