Data Limite

February 8, 2013.
Elegibilidade

Applicants must be citizens of countries in the Western Hemisphere and must
be either enrolled in accredited public, private or parochial secondary
schools, in accredited colleges or conservatories of music, or engaged in
the private study of music with recognized and established teachers.
Applicants must be under the age of 28 as of the competition postmark
deadline.
Benefícios

Prizes totaling $20,000 and ranging from $500 to $5,000 will be awarded at
the discretion of the judges.
Requisitos

Any inaccuracies in the score will be taken adversely into account in the
final judging of the composition. The Director reserves the right to refuse
to submit to the judges any manuscript which, in his opinion, is illegible
or musically illiterate. A copy of the composition submitted must be
retained by the applicant. Applicants should not send recordings of works
which have standard notation.

Electronic music and recordings of non-traditionally scored graphic works
which cannot adequately be presented in score may be submitted. Recordings
should be on CD. Information concerning source material and electronic
equipment used must be included in order that the judges can evaluate the
work properly. A composer entering a score which includes an electronic
recording should try to send the score with a recording of the entire work,
labeled with composition name and pseudonym. Applicants should not send
recordings of works which have standard notation.
Critérios de Seleção

Compositions will be judged on evidence of true creative talent. Academic
finesse, while not disregarded, will be considered secondary to vital
musicality and clarity of expression of the composer's work. There is no
limitation whatsoever on style. The judges will take into account:

   1. Formal content of the composition. This concerns the continuity and
   coherent expression of the composer's ideas;
   2. Melodic, harmonic and rhythmic idioms will be judged solely in terms
   of their consistency and suitability for the intent of the particular
   composition;
   3. Instrumentation, orchestration and vocal writing will be judged on
   the suitability of the choice and use of instruments or voices to the ideas
   presented in the composition; and
   4. Age of the composer at the time of completion of the manuscript. When
   two compositions are of equal merit in the opinion of the judges, but there
   is an age disparity, preference will be given to the younger contestant.

Restrições

A composer may enter no more than one composition, which need not have been
composed during the year of entry.
Forma de Solicitação

Official Rules, certification blank, entry blank and score identification
form are available here <http://www.bmi.com/pdfs/foundation/sca2012.pdf>.
