The Competition

There are numerous composers worldwide, who continue mostly out of pure, creative idealism. Only a select few have the privilege and enjoyment of their music being performed by others, let alone, achieve recognition. This is not necessarily due to differences in talents or abilities, but often the fact that composers are unable to market themselves.

This contest offers a competition, which provides a general public, for composers from all walks of life. A competition only makes sense if a relatively good and comprehensible comparability exist. Therefore, each participating composer will be given the task to create a composition based on a common theme. The theme can be a melody, a rhythm, or supplied text.

A rhythm was chosen as the theme for the first competition, on the basis of Morse code. This allowed the composer the freedom to choose his/her own style. Whereas, a melody would have provided a certain direction. More information about past competitions can be found in the menu item "History". In the invitation phase, you will also find the current topic via the menu item "Theme".
