The Jacques Lancelot International Clarinet Competition is a binational competition taking place every two years alternativly in France and in Japan. It was born to pay tribute to the great clarinetist  from Rouen Jacques Lancelot. The first edition took place in France, at Rouen, in 2012, and the second edition in Japan, at Yokosuka, in 2014. Since then, this alternation had goes on until the 6^ème edition that took place in Japan in 2023.

The 7^th Jacques Lancelot International Clarinet Competition will be held in France, at Rouen, from October 18 to 25, 2025 at the Conservatoire à Rayonnement Régional and at the chapelle Corneille.

As this 7^th edition is about to begin, our ambition has not changed : helping the best young clarinetists from all over the world to be known by the public.
