Composition Section
The Composition competitions are designed to share and celebrate composers of all ages, offering opportunities to exhibit new works and win fabulous prizes. Each competition will provide a platform where musicians can learn about styles and techniques of composition and discover new directions through listening to other competitors. Compositions can be submitted as a recording or as a live performance on the day of the competition.
