Enter competition
Click here to enter the competition!
Entry to the competition is open until June 15.
The material required for entry is the scores of your composition as a pdf file, an audio file (midi format or similar), as well as personal details. There is a non-refundable administrative fee of SEK 285* to be paid by debit/credit card upon entry. Detailed instructions on preparation of scores etc. will follow upon registration and payment. In short, you will first register your personal details and pay the administrative fee. You will receive a receipt of the entry and payment, in which you are automatically assigned a composer ID. This composer ID should then be incorporated into the anonymous scores etc., which you finally should submit by e-mail according to the instructions in the receipt.
If you have any questions regarding the competition, please email award
svanholmsingers.se.
If you are unable to pay the administrative fee by credit/debit card, there are two alternative options. Please see alternative instructions at the FAQ page.
* For technical reasons the payments must be done in SEK rather than Euro. SEK 285 is approximately equivalent to € 30, as originally stated for the administration fee, and is approximately equivalent to $ 40.







Hello,
I am thinking about writing a piece for this Competition (if I found enough time). It will be something for at least 8 voices. May I ask about Your voices scale? (where You feel comfortable). It will help me a lot to compose a good choral work (for example: T1 – ?, B1 – ? etc.).
Best regards and many thanks for this competition. It is a great idea!
