Until 2025, the competition was held under the name Domenico Gabrielli Cello Competition. Starting in 2027, it will be held under the name Emanuel Feuermann Scholarship. The Emanuel Feuermann Scholarship is a biennial cello competition in Berlin for students at the Hanns Eisler School of Music Berlin and the Berlin University of the Arts. As part of the competition, scholarships are awarded to particularly outstanding young cellists. The scholarship complements the Emanuel Feuermann Festival Berlin by providing targeted support for Berlin’s emerging talent. It is made possible by the University of the Arts Berlin Foundation.

The competition is funded by the investment income from the bequest, which is held by the UdK Berlin Foundation. The Foundation thanks its supporters for their generous commitment, especially those who have donated their estates.

Cellists studying at the Berlin University of the Arts and the Hanns Eisler Academy of Music whose main subject teachers agree to their participation in the competition are eligible to take part. All prize winners are required to participate in the prize winners' concert. This presupposes that piano accompaniment will also be available on this date.
