Details: In celebration of the Canadian Music Centre in BC’s 40th anniversary (1977-2017), we are pleased to announce a composition competition for an original 40-second trumpet fanfare.

Submissions may be scored for one of B-flat trumpet, C trumpet, or B-flat flugelhorn. Note: only one of the above instruments is to be used throughout the piece. Works including electronic elements cannot be considered.

The grand prize for the winning entry is $500. The deadline for submissions is Friday, October 6, 2017.

The contest is open to all Canadian citizens and permanent residents of Canada without age limit. Each composer may submit one entry. The composition must be original and unpublished.

Scores must be submitted anonymously, either as hand-written manuscripts or as PDF files. Unsigned hard copies should be accompanied by a separate page listing the name of the composer, address, birthdate, email address and phone number. Emailed PDF files should contain this information within the body of the email. To ensure anonymity, each entry, as it is received, will be assigned a unique identifier by CMC staff.
