I found this site for composition competition, and seems to me like very good one.

- Any person, regardless of nationality, who is not more than 35 years old at the end of the year his /her application is made.

- Composition for an orchestra, except concerto (no concerto), must be no less than 10 minutes nor more than 20 minutes.

- Maximum Instrumentation:

Flute 3 (may double with piccolo or alto flute), Oboe 3 (may double with English horn), Clarinet 3 (may double with E-flat or bass clarinet), Bassoon 3 (may double with double bassoon), Horn 4, Trumpet 3, Trombone 3, Tuba 1, Extra wind 1 (one extra wind except above kind of winds may be added), Harp 2, Keyboard 2 players (may take piano(s), celesta, synthesizer), Percussion 4 players (including Timpani) Violin 30, Viola 12, Cello 10, Double Bass 8

*A change in instrumentation may be requested if the unusual wind / percussion instruments are used.

*No use of real-time electric amplification / modulation and no accompaniment of recorded sound tape/CD playing are permitted.

Selected composers will be invited to attend the concert offering the premiere of their works. The sponsor covers necessary expenses for them to travel to Tokyo and stay there.

Anyone interesting to apply?
