We welcome you to the 66th Coupe Mondiale and the 130th CIA International General Assembly of Delegates Congress in Victoria, B.C., Canada, hosted by CIA member, the BC Accordion Society. Pre-Coupe Mondiale events will be held on August 17 and 18, and the Coupe Mondiale will be held from the 19-25 August, 2013.
 
This will only be the second time ever that the Coupe Mondiale has been held on Canadian soil (Toronto in 1964) and CIA is more than excited for this great opportunity to promote it's activities in one of the most beautiful cities in the world, Victoria, B.C.
 
The BC Accordion Society is thrilled to announce one of the highest prize budgets ever, with over $50,000 in money prizes, instruments and awards. Also, we invite you to the International Competition of Accordion Orchestras, that will be organized as a part of the Victoria International Accordion Festival, prior to the CIA event, with impressive awards, too. The organizers are also excited to announce that thanks to the generosity of one anonymous donor, twenty eligible contestants will receive a scholarship of $300 towards their travel expenses.
