Sibelius invites secondary and tertiary students to submit an original composition for a rare opportunity to compete nationally with other student composers across Australia. Finalists and winners will receive incredible prize packages comprising cash, software from Sibelius and state-of-the-art recording hardware & software from M-Audio & Digidesign.
The winner of each category will have their composition performed in concert by Ensemble Offspring www.ensembleoffspring.org.au, one of Australia's most innovative and progressive music ensembles. The winners will also be invited to observe the awards concert rehearsal - to have their piece workshopped and prepared for performance. And all entrants, whether successful or not, will receive feedback on their entries from our expert panel.

Competition entries will be judged in two categories: secondary students (under 19 and enrolled at high school in 2007) and tertiary students (undergraduates 25 and under enrolled at university in 2007). Winners will be notified prior to Saturday July 28th 2007, the date of the Awards Concert at the Sydney Conservatorium.
Entries must be submitted in Sibelius file format (.sib) and can be uploaded to our web site, emailed or saved to CD and posted. Competition opens for entries March 12, 2007. Deadline for entries is June 30, 2007.
