yankeefan2001 Posted January 14, 2012 Share Posted January 14, 2012 Does anyone know of good composition competitions to enter? Preferably I would like them to be free and chorally oriented. Are competitions even worth entering anyway??? Thanks for the help!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morivou Posted January 14, 2012 Share Posted January 14, 2012 Depends. What do you want to get out of the competiitons? Recordings? Performances? Bragging Rights? What? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yankeefan2001 Posted January 14, 2012 Author Share Posted January 14, 2012 Morivou, I think I'd just like to get experience from them and I'd like to get my music heard by more people. That being said.... recordings and performances would be nice! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morivou Posted January 14, 2012 Share Posted January 14, 2012 I suggest joining American Composers Forum. Their list of competitions is fairly comprehensive of the more famous competitions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Austenite Posted January 14, 2012 Share Posted January 14, 2012 I suggest joining American Composers Forum. Their list of competitions is fairly comprehensive of the more famous competitions. And what would you suggest to those of us who happen to not be American? :hmmm: 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel Posted January 14, 2012 Share Posted January 14, 2012 Always worth checking sites like these once in a while: http://www.cmc.ie/opportunities/competitions.html (this is the Irish one I check, but you could find your local equivalent by googling) Btw, I find competitions are next to useless, but one or two couldn't hurt.

mwhiteside Posted January 15, 2012 Share Posted January 15, 2012 Theres also http://www.scottishmusiccentre.com/competitions/ and http://www.muziekcentrumnederland.nl/en/contemporary/internationaleconcoursen/composition-competitions/ You could also just google 'call for scores'. I did that the other night and there are piles of ensembles around the world with open calls going, I think there was about 5 choral ones I came across.
