Win cash for your choral composition!!
Wisconsin student composers are invited to submit works for beginning to intermediate choirs to the WCDA’s Student Choral Composition Contest. There will be two divisions: High School, with one $300 prize, and Collegiate, with one $500 prize. The winning composition in each division will also be made available to our WCDA members for one year, for the purpose of giving live performances by their ensembles.
High School division students are eligible if they are currently enrolled in any Wisconsin high school. Collegiate division students are eligible if they are currently pursuing an undergraduate degree at any Wisconsin college or university, or if they are a Wisconsin high school graduate currently pursuing an undergraduate degree at an out-of-state college or university. There is no age limit, and no entry fee!
Entries for the 2023 WCDA Student Choral Composition Contest will be accepted from now until May 1st, 2024. The compositions should be scored for 2 to 4 voices in any combination (2 part, SAB, SATB, SSA, TBB, etc.), with no divisi. The piece can be a cappella, accompanied with piano, or accompanied by a unique backing track recording created specifically for your composition. The difficulty level should be appropriate for a beginning to intermediate level high school choir.
