BHS: Prvo Međunarodno pijanističko takmičenje “Banjalučki Bijenale” je održano u Banjaluci 2008. godine. Glavni organizator i pokretač ovog takmičenja je Muzička škola “Vlado Milošević” Banja Luka, a uz pomoć Kulturnog centra Banski dvor, koji je za potrebe takmičenja ustupio Koncertnu dvoranu. Ideja vodilja za osnivanje takmičenja je bila, okupiti što više mladih i talentovanih pijanista i nihovih profesora, kako bi došlo do pozitivne razmjene znanja, iskustava i energije. Učenici i studenti se takmiče u disciplinama klavir solo i klavirski duo (za 4 ruke i dva klavira), a sve pod budnim okom stručnog žirija sastavljenog od eminentnih klavirskih reproduktivnih umjetnika i pedagoga.
