The Singing City Prize for Young Composers is a national choral music competition for talented young musicians between the ages of 15 and 30.

Singing City invites young musicians to submit original choral compositions arranged for SATB, 3-5 minutes in length. Submitted works undergo a rigorous jury process, after which winners and runners up are chosen in each of two categories:

Ages 15-18 (High School)
Ages 19-30

Cash prizes are awarded for a winner and a runner up in each age group. The First Prize compositions will be performed by Singing City Choir at a concert event where the young composers are honored and presented with cash awards.

The overall goal is to maximize the involvement of students in the creative process and to be a valuable music education resource for the entire community. This competition may be the impetus and encouragement that a young composer needs to continue on his or her creative journey.

For more information, call (215) 569-9067 or visit our website for application and brochure. Deadline is December 3, 2010.
