Student Composition Competition

Calling all young composers! The Leonardo 4 Children Awards, envisioned as a Nobel Prize for children, is calling on young people across Europe to create original music in response to the urgent issues of climate change, gender inequality, and violent conflict.

Do you have a budding composer in your program (or an alumna/us)? Let them know about the NAfME Student Composer’s Competition. If your students aren’t ready this year, they can listen to recent winning compositions on the website, in the symphonic or reed quartet categories. All submissions get a written evaluation of the work, and 10 winners get cash prizes and performances. Applications are due by March 27. Entry instructions are here.
