2. The European Championship is intended for the hunting horn groups in B and E-Flat/D (hunting horn, Fürst Plesshorn and Parforcehorn). A horn group consists of at least 4 hunting horn players, there is no limit to the maximum number. The groups play without a conductor and without music stands.

3. The horn groups are delegated by the umbrella organization. The hunting horn groups bear all their own costs associated with the European Championship (travel, accommodation and meals). The organizer of the European Championship covers the costs of organizing the competition and the fees as well as accommodation and meals for the jurors. Correspondence between the parties takes place via email. The negotiation language is the language of the organizer and German.

4. Each participating state is entitled to delegate an experienced juror to the European Championship.

5. Each participant will be provided with free scores for two four-part pieces in B and E-Flat/D for the European Championship, which will be published in the list on the European Championship website. The participants choose 2 pieces from the list as compulsory pieces from the other countries. The allocation of the various instrument voices within the wind section is up to the participants. The number of self-selected optional pieces is determined by the organizer.

6. The jurors assess the participants' performance according to the following criteria:
a) performance
b) interaction
c) tuning
d) tonal culture
e) overall impression

For each criterion, the participant can receive 1-5 points.
1 point = sufficient
2 points = good
3 points = very good
4 points = outstanding
5 points = excellent

7. Each participant receives a certificate of participation and the competition badge. The winner of all categories receives the title of European Champion.

The competition course

The competition consists of two rounds. The qualifying round and the final (the 3 best groups in each category take part in the final). In the qualifying round, 3 pieces are played (2 mandatory and 1 optional compositions). The organizer can decide that fewer compositions are played depending on the number of participants. In the final, each group will play 2 compositions (1 mandatory and 1 optional piece of their own choice).

Delegation of groups

A maximum of 2 groups in B tuning and 2 groups in E-Flat/D tuning can take part in the competition from each country. If a country only delegates one group in the E-Flat/D category, it can delegate another group to the B tuning category, i.e. three groups in B. Another combination of the number of delegated groups is not possible.
