We have encountered an open-to-all youth piano competition where 100% of the awards were handed to contestants whose teachers were members of the jury.
There were a total of seven jury members, all teachers. Combined these seven jury members teach in just three institutions. All laureates study with one of the seven teachers.
The total number of teachers who had a student in the competition is 36. Together they represented over 15 different institutions, and 11 are private teachers.
All participants must pay a fee to compete. The contract indicates that all jury decisions are final.
Is that practice legal?
Is there a law that protects minors who enter this type of competitions?
Thank you
