The International Society of Contemporary Music World Music Days 2016 will take place in Tongyeong, Korea from 29 March to 3 April 2016.

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 two works to CANZ for consideration.

DEADLINE for submission to CANZ for consideration: Friday 7 August 2015 (receipt of submission).

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 following website for details about making individual submissions: http://worldmusicdays2016.kr/call-for-scores/rules/

According to the regulations issued by ISCM, preference will be given to shorter compositions, and to pieces composed in, or after, 2007. Only one work per composer can be submitted for a given ISCM-WMD Festival, whether through the official CANZ entry or as an individual submission.

For submission to CANZ for consideration, please send the following materials electronically to CANZ President Glenda Keam at with the subject line ‘ISCM 2016 Submission’:

• PDF version of the score/description, or in the case of compositions/projects without a written score – audio/video documentation
• Wherever possible, an audio or video recording of the work
• Proof of nationality of the composer (PDF copy of passport)
• Current photograph of the composer (jpeg or similar)

Please also include the following in a single text file:

* A short biography of the composer in English (max 150 words)

* Programme notes of the submitted work in English (max 150 words)

* Technical rider with the specification of all equipment that is necessary to perform the work

* Website of the composer or the publisher if available

* Statement of which category the work fits (see categories list below)

A panel of CANZ members (including at least two CANZ committee members) will select the six works that will comprise the submission from CANZ. Glenda will not participate in the selection of the six works to be sent by CANZ to the international jury, as she is a member of the ISCM International Executive; she will simply collect all eligible entries and pass them on to the CANZ selection panel.

The six works selected by CANZ will be submitted electronically to an ISCM international jury, and the chosen work will be announced on 30 October 2015, on the ISCM World Music Days 2016 website.
