The Chai Found Music Workshop (CFMW) have held many composition competitions since 2009, focusing on different themes (i.e. "Five Elements", "Yin & Yang", "Mountains and Water" etc.) each year. However, for more open thoughts and inspirations, and for the promotions of new sizhu music's creation, there is no indicated "theme" for this year's competition. This competition consists of two stages of evaluations to provide communications and collaborations between musicians and composers. We encourage you whoever are interested in writing music to join this opportunity.
This competition is open to composers at any age, and from any country.
The submitted work has to be newly written and has not received a public performance or been awarded in another competition.
The first-prize winners of this competition for the past two years are not eligible to submit.
Submissions should be sent by registered mail to the Chai Found Music Workshop no later than Friday, August 14, 2015 (post-mark date). Title: 2015 CFMW Internation Sizhu Music Composition Competition Address: B1, No.101, Ji-lin Rd., Taipei City (10459), Taiwan
