Why are we doing this and how can you participate?

Winners will participate in a tailored development programme working with a mentor composer on a project with the 蜜芽传媒 Concert Orchestra, culminating in a performance or broadcast opportunity. Winners’ names will also feature on the 蜜芽传媒 Young Composer website.

Teachers may enter the competition on behalf of a student. However, they must gain permission from the parent/guardian of the child before entering, and also provide a copy of the competition rules and privacy notice to the parent/guardian.
