Emerging Composers Competition Nurturing choral music as a living, evolving art is central to Cerddorion’s mission. In 2013 we launched our annual Emerging Composers Competition to foster the creation and performance of new works for mixed chorus. Our eighth annual Emerging Composers Competition is now open! Deadline for scores: March 1, 2020. Click here for competition entry form and a PDF of the guidelines below. Submission Guidelines 1. Works must be: – Scored for SATB a cappella (some divisi acceptable) – Approximately 3-5 minutes in length – Unpublished and unperformed 2. The winning compositions will be premiered in May 2020 as part of a program featuring music composed by and about women, in honor of the centennial of the 19th Amendment (recognizing women’s right to vote). Although there are no thematic restrictions on the competition, entries related to this theme are encouraged. 3. Composers may submit more than one work, but must complete a separate entry form and fee for each. 4. Submission of MIDI realizations is encouraged, but not required.
