I have a very important auditon coming up, and I was just wondering which piece I ought to play:

Brahms, Intermezzo op.118 No 2
Sibelius, Impromtu (not sure which one.. but it's the one with 2 pages that lasts 7 minutes)
Mozart, Fantasie
Schubert, Impromtu

Personally I like the Intermezzo the best, but is this piece difficult enough to score alot of points?

Hmm...I don't know the Sibelius, but I would say that if the Brahms is your favorite, then play it. It's been played at major competitions in the past, so I wouldn't be concerned about its viability. If you want to give the best impression of yourself, then you should play what you play best.

Best,

Thanks for answering

Have you played the piece yourself? Could you give me some tips, what to be aware of? I know about the pedalling...

If some people haven't heard it, I would say go for the Sibelius.
They might see you as eccentric, which is often times good.
