In honour of its 20th Anniversary, and to facilitate collaborations between composers and performers, the ADRS NSW branch will be holding a composition competition. We seek to encourage and develop new Australian works which engage with idiomatic characteristics of solo double reed instruments, in particular works suitable for students studying for their Year 12 Music performance exam. ELIGABILIBTY • Open to all Australian citizens, permanent residence or students of an Australian school or university. There is no age limit. • The score must be unpublished. In addition, the work should not have been broadcast, or awarded prizes in other competitions. • To support the project an application fee of $25 is compulsory. CRITERIA Compositions must be no longer than five (5) minutes. Compositions must feature a solo double reed instrument (oboe, bassoon, english horn, contrabassoon) with or without piano accompaniment. The level of difficulty should be no higher than AMEB Grade 7. All submissions should include a completed application form and must be presented in the manor specified on the form.
