See below for a report on the competition:

Peter took part in the second Black Sea Conducting Competition in Constanta, Romania, in September this year. There was in international group of partcipants - from the UK, Italy, Japan, Canada, USA, Argentina, Portugal ...!

However Peter has serious doubts about the legitimacy of the competition. A good number of the other competitors felt the same. In addition the quality and method of the judging was very dubious. He left feeling sad and angry that he had spent a week of time and a not inconsiderable amount of money on the event. Both Peter and several other competitors directed concerns to the organisers just after the competition, but have had no reply.
