The CFMTA offers a biennial National Piano Competition in odd-numbered years, in the same location as their convention. Each province/territory is eligible to send one competitor to compete for prizes totalling $13,500 in two levels of competition.

The competition is open to students studying with a Registered Music Teacher, at the under-graduate level or lower.
