The International Contest of Music Bands “Ciutat de València” has always been the Contest that has allocated the most money both to aids for the participation of the bands and to the official prizes of each section, specifically €84,000 are allocated in aids to the bands for participation and €43,000 in prizes.
In this current edition of the CIBM València, one of the main novelties has been the creation of several special prizes included in Base 13 of the regulations that govern the CIBM Valencia and that have been possible through the collaboration with various entities that have endowed these prizes financially.
