RED NOTE New Music Festival Composition Competition

The RED NOTE New Music Festival is pleased to announce its Eighth Annual Composition Competition. The competition is open to all composers, regardless of age or nationality. This year, there are three categories: Category A (Works for Chamber Ensemble), Category B (Works for Wind Ensemble), and Category C (Works for Chorus). Information on how to enter is at the bottom of this page.

General Guidelines (Applicable to all three categories)
Works may include non-interactive electroacoustic elements (e.g., CD playback).
Works may have been performed before, but should not have been composed before the year 2000.
An entry fee of $25 must be included with the first score submitted, regardless of category. There is an entry fee of $15 for each additional score submitted, regardless of category. For example, a composer who submits one score to Category A and another to Category B must submit a $40 entry fee. Composers may submit as many works as they like in any category.
Previous winners in any category of the RED NOTE New Music Festival Composition Competition may not enter.
Students, faculty, staff, and alumni of Illinois State University may not enter.
The winning composer must agree to provide parts by February 1, 2018, in order to guarantee a performance of the winning work at the RED NOTE New Music Festival.
Attendance at the Festival is encouraged but not required.
In the unlikely event that no entry is worthy of the award in a given category, the University reserves the right to award no prizes or prize money in that category.
