Please read & follow the
complete rules (linked below) carefully!!
- Each entry must be the composition of one student only.
- The composer may submit an entry performed by an individual or group and/or make use of a sound library generated performance of a composed score. Student composers are not required to perform their composition, but a recording of the composition must be included.
- High school grade divisions must include either (1) music score/notation, either traditional or tablature, or (2) a written reflective statement that provides a musically technical explanation of how the music was created (100 words or less).
- Audio must not exceed 5 minutes in length and 1GB (one gigabyte) in file size.
- Notation software may be used to create a score. Whether the score is handwritten or computer-generated, appropriate instrumentation and voicing are required for the performance. Number each page. Save/scan score as a single PDF.
- Accepted audio file formats include: MP3, WMA, WAV, ACC (M4A) and FLAC. Audio only, no videos accepted.
- Label audio file & notation/score with your (1) Arts Category and (2) First and Last Name.
- Entries will be judged primarily on how well the student uses their artistic vision to portray the theme. Many times, the artist statement will make a huge difference during judging because this is where the artist can explain in their own words, their thoughts and feelings for their entry.
