Each April we hold our Composition Competition.

Compositions can be in any style for any of our Music Society ensembles. A list of the ensembles and their sizes is below. Please be mindful of our ensemble capacities and rehearsal times when you enter.
 

Entries to the competition are announced by email, and the competition is usually judged by a panel of Composition lecturers from the University.
