Young Composers Contest (May 8)

Announcing the Young Composers Contest In celebration of Make Music Day 2017, MakeMusic is hosting a composition contest for young composers, aged 13-21. The winner will receive cash and other prizes. In addition, their composition will be made available to all users of SmartMusic Teach Free and will be performed live in select cities as part of national Make Music Day celebrations.

Entries can be created in any notation software. Musicians without notation software are encouraged to download a free 30-day trial of Finale and start creating.

Are you over 21? It’s time to be a mentor. Please share the contest with students and young friends. You’ll find complete details and rules on the contest page.
