These competitions are funny, and never seem to be worth the hazzle.... Reminds me of this: The International Society of Distinguished Composers announces their 2002 Composition Competition. Left-handed composers of Icelandic descent who live in the states of Nebraska, Delaware, Louisiana, and the suburbs of Toronto (excluding Midhurst Drive) are invited to submit unperformed and unpublished works for a chamber ensemble to include piccolo, xylophone, celesta, musical saw, and electric bass. Duration: no less than 35-40 minutes in length. Works that exclude one or more instruments will not be considered. Prize: 50,000 oubrados ($150.00 U.S.). The composer will be required to attend the premiere performance in Ulaan Baatar, Mongolia, December 27, 2003 at their own expense. Send nine (9) copies of the score and equivalent recordings on CD only (live instruments must be used - no "computer realizations"). Entry fee: $50 per entry. The winner will be contacted by February 2003. Materials will not be returned.

Hey, this is really good for just a beginner. Kept me interested the entire time, sure the harmonies are fairly simple, but it sounds great. Kinda reminds me of something Beethoven would write. Anyways, great job.
