International piano competition aims to 'tackle male dominance'

An international piano competition has set out to 'tackle male dominance' by introducing new rules for favouring female musicians.

Juries, who vote on the outcome of each round, have been instructed to 'consider advancing' female competitors over their male counterparts in the event of a tie.
