The semi final stage of the contest was dropped this year, however a preliminary round was held over two days on 26 & 27 May and streamed live on youngmusicians.tv. Each musician was required to play for up to 15 minutes in this round and a maximum of five minutes in the Grand Final on 31 May. The international jury scored each musician and performance during the preliminary round. The scores were added to those given in the Grand Final to decide the three prize winners.[6][7]
All participating countries automatically qualified for the final on 31 May 2014. The semi final elimination stage was replaced by a two-day preliminary round, that was held on 26 and 27 May respectively at the Kleiner Sendesaal in WDR's Funkhaus Wallrafplatz. The professional jury awarded points in this round.
