• Each composer may submit more then one composition for each section (A and B), provided that the relevant fees are paid. See next paragraph for the specifications. Fees are used to partially defray the costs of the performances.
• Submissions are due by 24:00 of the 20th of March, 2018, with the winners announced by the 1st of April, 2018.
• Any duration is accepted but we strongly recommend submissions around 8-12 minutes.
• By submitting, the author accepts to provide the performance materials at no further cost for the organization.
• Regarding the electroacoustic pieces (Section A), combinations of at least two of the following options are accepted:
• Flute (also piccolo);
