In recent years Vilmos has received numerous prizes at national and international competitions. In March 2004 he won his first competition at the Didier Nowe Contest in Brussels. One year later he was awarded 1st prize and gold medal at the European Competition for Young Soloists (UGDA) in Luxembourg and in May 2006 he received 3rd prize at the Kocian Violin Competition in Czech Republic. In 2007 he even won three 1st prizes at the 'FLAME' in Paris, the 'Postacchini' in Italy and the 'Remember Enescu' in Sinaia (Romania). The following year he became first prize winner at the 'Bravo!' in Brussels and second prize winner again at the Kocian Violin Competition in Czech Republic. In the following two years he was awarded four more 1st prizes at the 'FLAME' in Paris (May 2009), the 'Rotary Brueghel' in Brussels (April 2010), the 'Cavatina' in Namur (Belgium, May 2010) and the European Competition for Young Soloists in Luxembourg (November 2010). At the Belfius Classics in November 2011 he received 1st prize and participated in the gala concert of the Belfius Classics competition with the chamber orchestra Aria under Etienne Rappe on 10th March 2012.
