Competition information for Teachers

Only three submissions per category per school will be accepted. It is the responsibility of the school music teacher(s) to decide which three pieces per category will be entered in the contest. All entries must be original music written by the student. Arrangements of previously composed pieces or improvisation based on composed pieces will not be accepted. The composition may be written for no more than eight performers, and may be between 1 - 5 minutes in length for the junior division (elementary and junior High) and 3 - 8 minutes in length for the senior (high school) division. Only one submission per applicant is allowed. No prize will be awarded to schools not listed on the application.Pieces composed during the MU Summer Composition Institute (Summer COMP) are ineligible. Please make sure that each submission is in a separate envelope.

Music teachers and/or musical mentors may assist students in notating or recording the pieces. Mentors and teachers are encouraged to support young musicians and may critique their work, though the submissions must be the students' own and original compositions. Each student who applies must have the signature and sponsorship of her/his school's music teacher.

Please make sure there are no identifying marks other than the title of the composition on the submitted score or recording. Do not put the name of the composer(s) or school on the score or recording.

In the case of pieces with multiple composers, each contributor must submit a separate application form. All of these forms must accompany the submission in the same envelope.
Winning compositions will be performed at the Creating Original Music Project's Festival on April 21, 2012 at the University of Missouri. All winning composers are expected to attend the festival for the performance of their original pieces. In addition, schools that win prizes from the program must provide the opportunity for their young musicians to perform their pieces in their schools.

The programs of the Mizzou New Music Initiative have been made possible
through the generous support of the Sinquefield Charitable Foundation.
