Hello everyone!

Mock Juries are returning and we need panelists! The dates are April 5th and 6th. Apply in our bio to be a panelist!

Requirements to be a panelist:

- must have had a jury once in your undergraduate degree
- currently be in 3rd year or above of an undergraduate music degree

Last but not least, here are our categories for this year's Composition Competition! 🎵 🎹🎙

Best Original Pop Song: Compositions of a similar style to something that would feasibly appear in the Billboard Hot 100.

Best Arrangement: Compositions that are arrangements of already existing pieces. Arrangements will be judged on how they are arranged and treatment of the original material.

Orchestration/Classical-style: Compositions are judged based on their orchestration and the technical proficiency of the composer. General rule of thumb is a composition that might be studied in any Theory I-V class.

Film/Video Game Music: Compositions that are written in the style of film/video game music. Does not include arrangements of existing film/video game music.

From My Culture: Compositions that are from/based on a culture's music.

People's Choice Award: Compositions that have not won another category will be automatically considered for the People’s Choice award, voted on by the student body.

As always, DM or contact [email protected] if you have any questions! Submit your compositions via the google form in our bio.

Here are the rules and guidelines for Comp Comp 2025:

1. Only one submission per person.
2. Must be your own composition/arrangement.
3. Submission must be under 15 minutes.
4. Must provide a score (excluding Best Original Pop Song submissions).
5. Must provide a video recording (can be a screen record of the program ex. Sibelius/MuseScore). Participants' faces don't need to be in the video - no particular content is necessary, and your video quality will not affect how you are judged by the panel.
6. Must include program notes, and professionalism is strongly encouraged! (i.e. include a title page, use a professional font, etc.)

Submit via the google form in our bio! If you have any questions, don't hesitate to DM us or email [email protected].
