The theme for our 2008 contest was Time. Official guidelines and text choices for the Eleventh Annual Choral Composition Contest can be viewed below, along with registration and sponsor forms.
The Grand Prize is $1000, with a Runner-Up Prize of $250. Additionally, the adult sponsors of the winning students will receive $100 and $50 for the Grand Prize Winner and Runner-Up respectively. Questions, comments and suggestions may be sent to the contest coordinator.
Here are the official guidelines for the 2008 contest. Please heed all requirements and deadlines, as non-conformant entries will not be accepted.
