After the sixth and last night's performances at the final the president of the jury announced the winner. South Korean violinist Lim Ji Young won the final after playing the set piece "...aussi peu que les nuages..." by Michael Jarrell and her own choice Concerto in D op. 77 by Johannes Brahms.

The announcement of the winner resulted in a rather painful situation as jury president Arie Van Lysebeth did not pronounce the winner's name clearly. Another South Korean finalist, Lee Ji Yoon, first thought she had won, raced onto the stage only to realise her mistake.
