2022 FOCAM Young Composers Competition

The Washington State University School of Music is excited to host our inaugural Young Composers Competition as part of the 2022 Festival of Contemporary Art Music, held March 3-5 in Pullman, Washington.

We invite Washington state students grades 7-12 to compose a new work for this year’s guest ensemble, the TORCH Collective Quartet (clarinet, trumpet, double bass, and vibraphone/percussion). Three winning works will be chosen by the ensemble for performance on a Festival concert and recording in WSU’s state-of-the-art recording studio, and their composers will be awarded a $250 honorarium and have the opportunity to participate in all festival events.

Submissions are due by January 1, 2022. There is no submission fee. Rather than emailing files, please share a link to a PDF of the score and, if available, an mp3 of a recording (MIDI is perfectly acceptable) using a platform like GoogleDrive or Dropbox.

For other questions, please email scott.blasco@wsu.edu.
