A varied repertoire from early classical to contemporary works is required. Works from the early and late classical periods as well as from the Romantic period are required. In addition, there is a focus on modernism with works composed after 1900 and after 1970.
The high-calibre, international jury is chaired by the President of the University of Music FRANZ LISZT Weimar and violinist Anne-Kathrin Lindig and consists of experienced musicians and educators.

The international competition is named after the violinist, conductor and composer Joseph Joachim (1831-1907), who was part of Franz Liszt's inner circle during his time as concertmaster of the Weimar Court Orchestra. As one of the most important chamber musicians of the late 19th century, Joachim played in the legendary Liszt-Joachim-Coßmann piano trio.
