Your piece is for orchestra.  This is a competition for chamber works for between 3 to 5 instruments total.

I just listened to the piece and the only thing keeping it from meeting the requirements for the competition is that you're using ensemble strings patches instead of solo strings.  If you use solo strings, this would be a great string quintet and would meet the requirement of being for 3 to 5 instruments!

OK, then I’ll probably opt out of it then.  Will there be any ensemble competitions? Anything that’s featuring a full orchestra or string Orchestra or like that

The next competition/challenge will probably be the Christmas music Event and that will be completely open with no particular requirements in terms of instrumentation, or duration.

That’s nice to know
