Call for Scores: ISCM World Music Days 2012

The International Society of Contemporary Music World New Music Days 2012 will take place in six cities in Belgium between 25/10/12 and 4/11/12.

As a member of ISCM, CANZ will submit six works by six CANZ members for consideration for performance at the festival.

You may submit up to 2 works to CANZ for consideration.

You may also enter works as an individual directly to ISCM for consideration, however this incurs an entry fee of 50 Euro. Please see the ISCM website for details about making individual submissions:
http://www.iscm.org

Composers whose pieces were programmed for the 2011 ISCM World Music Days in Zagreb are not eligible to submit works as part of the official CANZ entries or as individuals.

However, please be aware that as the call for scores for the 2013 festival (to be held in Slovakia and Austria) is imminent, then the composer of any work selected by CANZ for the 2012 submission will not be eligible to submit to CANZ for consideration for the 2013 submission.

Works must be composed in, or after, 2006. Please note that the different categories carry their own duration limits (see ISCM website for details).

Only one work per composer can be submitted for a given ISCM-WMD Festival, whether through the official or individual submissions.
