The Menuhin Competition is run by the Yehudi Menuhin Young Violinists International Competition Trust, a UK-based charity that deals with the ongoing day-to-day management of the competition and related activities and events.
The Menuhin Competition takes place every two years, and is organised as a collaboration between the Trust and a host organisation in the city or country in which the competition takes place.
Since its inception in 1983 it has taken place in Folkestone, England; Boulogne-sur-Mer, France; London, England; Cardiff, Wales; and Oslo, Norway. In 2012 it was for the first time held outside of Europe, in Beijing, China and in 2014 it will be be hosted by the Butler School of Music in Austin, Texas in the USA.
