I think I was searching for competitions through google, so something like "compos(e)(ing) competition".

I remember Marius and Hillary were on it back in the day (5 or 6 years ago). I didn't think too much of it then because I thought of myself more as a performer. This year, I started taking composition a bit more seriously so I decided to check out YC and here I am!

I googled young composers or composers or competitions (something along those lines!)...joined, but didn't become active until about a year ago.

I was researching for contemporary young composers in Yahoo, had checked into a few individual sites during some weeks - and suddenly ran into someone's profile (can't remember whose, but I'd bet Elizabeth's). Then I clicked... and voilá, I found myself in the home page. Wandered around as a guest for a couple days, then decided to join, out of desperation for feedback (and need of fellow composer friends)!

I joined what seems to me to be long time ago under another account that I forgot. I was using Google to search for a site that would allow people my age (around 14 at the time) to post scores and comment on each others'. For some design reason or another, I grazed through this site several times thinking it was just some static information site. Little did I know at the time that it was exactly what I was looking for. Thanks to whomever I can thank for making this site a reality.

As far as a I can remember it was via search result for something music-related - I forget exactly what, but having browsed the site I promptly joined in order to interact with other like-minded individuals.
