The Video Archive and Education Project is a new project initiated by the Confédération Internationale des Accordéonistes (CIA). The project includes:

(i) A video of all the Coupe Mondiale categories and their contestants to be kept in the CIA Archives Center housed in Ikaalinen, Finland at the CIA Headquarters, which over the coming years will become a wealth of historical recordings, including the premiere of many original accordion works and the emergence of upcoming artists at the Coupe Mondiale.
 
(ii) Free downloads of the performances by the 1st, 2nd and 3rd prize winners of each Coupe Mondiale category. These will be placed online as free downloads for the educational benefit of accordion teachers and students. The purpose is to enable the free spread of knowledge and information and thereby raise the levels of accordion performance and musicianship internationally.
 
Please visit the 2011 Video Archive and Education Project page to enjoy free Video downloads of the top three prize winners of each of the seven categories of competition and the winner of the Award for the Best New Original Work. The 2011 Video Archive and Education Project was generously sponsored by Pigini Srl and Accordions Worldwide.
 
At the conclusion of 65th Coupe Mondiale in Spoleto, the top three prize winners of the following videos will be added as a free download as they are processed
