12th Competition: Call for Scores

The Swiss organization pre-art announces its 12th consecutive call for scores by composers of the nations in which it has been active over the last 20 years. The organization’s aim consists in finding young composers in order to promote them in an international context. By this we hope to support the exchange within southeastern Europe, the Caucasian and Central Asian region and Switzerland and thereby to overcome regional and national differences.

The competition is open to composers from the following countries: Albania, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Bosnia and Hercegovina, Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, Georgia, Greece, Kazakhstan, Kirgistan, Kosova, Moldavia, Montenegro, North Macedonia, Romania, Serbia, Slovenia, Tajikistan, Turkey, Turkmenistan, Ukraine and Uzbekistan.

Age limite: 30 (born 1990 or later)
