For composers under the age of 40
The SoundChain International Composition Competition is a one-round composition competition for composers under the age of 40 for new multi-channel and stereo electroacoustic compositions. The competition is held every two years.
The aim of the competition is to encourage the creation and development of new innovative acousmatic compositions and to inspire young composers by creating related professional publications reflecting on newly created works and their technical and aesthetic character, and by continuously exploring this dynamically developing compositional field.
Compositions submitted to the competition must be between 7 and 20 minutes in length, and must not have been previously published, premiered or commissioned, and are then judged anonymously. The deadline for submissions is 30 September 2024.
The first-place winner will receive a cash prize of CZK 20,000 and a partner’s gift (Max software license). This monetary amount is gross, meaning tax and any other applicable fees as per the laws and regulations in the Czech Republic must be deducted. The second place will be awarded a partner’s gift (Max software license). Besides the winning composition, the jury will select up to five additional pieces to be performed during a concert in Brno at the Theatre on Orlí Street, which will take place as part of the awards ceremony on 24 November 2024.
