Call for Compositions (The Capital Hearings Young Composers Competition, $1,000 prize)

Young composers of the U.S. and Canada, The Capital Hearings 2023 Young Composers Competition is LIVE! 

We are welcoming submission of compositions for mixed, unaccompanied vocal ensemble of 12 to 14 voices. This year, our 9th Annual Young Composers Competition is eager to hear your thoughts on memories, visions, and perspectives on time. If you feel like you have something to say – or find that something you’ve already written might speak to us–we’d love to hear it!

All U.S. & Canadian residents age 18-40 are welcome to submit a 2-5 minute original composition (arranged for mixed, unaccompanied choir) related to this theme, and we especially welcome submissions from unique or underrepresented perspectives – and in unique or underrepresented styles.

More information on the theme, guidelines for submissions, and submission instructions can be found at this link: https://www.thecapitalhearings.com/competition/ 

Submissions are due by June 9, 2023, and a prize of $1,000 will be awarded to the winner. All applicants will be notified of the final decision by July 9, 2023.

Please direct any questions to composers@thecapitalhearings.com.

Hi @thecapitalhearings,

This looks attractive! Sadly I'm not a US or Canada citizen....
