Good ideas, Mori!
May I suggest one thing- I think that twenty second works are a bit too short. Even I can write a twenty-second piece, and throw it away just because I feel that I couldn't possibly get away with it. The point is that you can't really express something musical (or musically, for that matter) with out at LEAST fourty seconds. Could we bump it to fourty?

Verdi-lover-
That's a good point. However, I feel that the judges should do their bidding based off the musical content rather than the instrumentation. But you are right; it could interfere with good judegment. How about we set a rule that the work must be either a string quartet, or other peice for four or five instruments (this goes alongside the suggestion for only chamber works).

Spectrums- It can be any type you like (minus songs, because they have a different impact from instrumental music)
