Honestly one of the best music composing competitions I've seen.
This smaller community thing is a lot better than these big name comps that draw in thousands of entries and the judges actually expect you to believe they listened to them all.
The prizes are also a lot better

Oh my god the sheet music is kinda BIG (do you need the Percussion pentagram? I ask because It's empty).
It's a short nice theme, a good prelude or ending for something. It works good by itself too, at least in my humble opinion.
Still surprised about this forum and some of their users' longevity. Welcome back to composition I guess!
