About this Event

If you're aged 11-`18 and love to compose, we want your pieces! Compositions of any genre are welcome! Please submit entries in pdf and mp3 format to [email protected] with the name '[title] - [student name].pdf/mp3'. For example, 'Thus Spake Zarathustra - Richard Strauss.mp3'

Competition deadline is midnight on the 10th of December! Winning compositions will be performed by Oxford students in January (date to be confirmed), and school friends/parents will be welcome to watch. On top of this, winning composers will be invited to a composition workshop in the prestigious Schwarzman Centre for the Humanities in 2026. Profits from ticket sales for this concert will go to funding future competitions.
