2012 BCMCC is open for applications!

Submit your new chamber works by 1 March for the 2012 BCMCC.  Apply onlineEntry requirements have changed slightly from last year; the BCMCC now requires only MIDI recordings and that all scores be submitted without composer name so judging is anonymous.  The prizes remain having your work recorded and released on CD, a World Premiere performance, a publishing liaison, and the possibility of repeat performance.  Check out the success of the 2010 BCMCC to learn more about the opportunities created for the winners.

We look forward to another fantastic competition and wish you all a very happy new year!
