How did you find Young Composers?

I think I was searching for competitions through google, so something like "compos(e)(ing) competition".

How did you find us?

1. Search engine? If yes, which one, and what words did you type in if you remember?

2. Referred?

3. Other?

I searched google for "composer forum", a week ago.

I dont remember exactly what I typed but it was something like everyone elses, composer forum, or something.

YC popped on the search results a few times in September, so I thiought I'd join and give it a whirl, and here I am :)

I remember Marius and Hillary were on it back in the day (5 or 6 years ago). I didn't think too much of it then because I thought of myself more as a performer. This year, I started taking composition a bit more seriously so I decided to check out YC and here I am!

My mom found it for me while at work :P

YC has been around for 5 years! Woah!

from stumbleupon :)

I googled young composers or composers or competitions (something along those lines!)...joined, but didn't become active until about a year ago.

I googled (funny how googled isn't a word on GOOGLE chrome. :facepalm: ) Composers forum or Composition forum about a year ago, because I knew there had to be something for people like us ? ;D I was a bit active during November-January. Took a break and now I'm back for good!

Its a great site.I think it was the search engine for me, too, for I knew nobody on the forum back then. I suppose I joined it.Its help full for me.Thanks for sharing.I like it...

I think it was the search engine for me, too, for I knew nobody on the forum back then. I suppose I joined in the late 90's.

Thanks

Yahoo search. "composer online forum"

Found another composer website which is FAAAAR above my head and this one.

The one with Gary Garritan?

Eric Whitacre referred to it on his blog --> http://ericwhitacre.com/blog/advice-for-the-emerging-composer-part-ii-youngcomposerscom

I'm a HUGE Eric Whitacre fan.

Through the member SkyLynx.

I have found an add .. I guess by a member or something in an Emiratian youth magazine called "Majed"..

so i checked it out .. and here I'm since July 2009 ..

One of these days I won't find it at all :wacko:

Google. I have actually been hoping I would find a site like this. I like it.

Google search "music making forums" or something similar to that.

HAHAHAHAHAH

one day i was feeling so bored so i just anyhow typed "young composers" and a list of young composers award/compeition thingies came out. Then i typed "young composers FORUM" and was directed to the forum site....and i peeped at the forum shoutbox for a few minutes, and the people there (if i remember, it is heckel and jaws and some other person) were talking about REAL MUSIC stuff and i was like "WOAH okok i want join!!!" and hence Im here :D

2011 May 2nd. :D

I was researching for contemporary young composers in Yahoo, had checked into a few individual sites during some weeks - and suddenly ran into someone's profile (can't remember whose, but I'd bet Elizabeth's). Then I clicked... and voilá, I found myself in the home page. Wandered around as a guest for a couple days, then decided to join, out of desperation for feedback (and need of fellow composer friends)!

I joined what seems to me to be long time ago under another account that I forgot. I was using Google to search for a site that would allow people my age (around 14 at the time) to post scores and comment on each others'. For some design reason or another, I grazed through this site several times thinking it was just some static information site. Little did I know at the time that it was exactly what I was looking for. Thanks to whomever I can thank for making this site a reality.

As far as a I can remember it was via search result for something music-related - I forget exactly what, but having browsed the site I promptly joined in order to interact with other like-minded individuals.

I found this site via google. I forgot what I was searching for though...
