RULES FOR SUBMISSION



Note that the rules and procedures have changed as of this year. All

may be submitted, which must adhere to the following guidelines:



€ Music submissions must be prepared as a single LastnameFirstname.MP3 or

€ Audio Files: music submissions should include a representative audio
recording of the work. If a concert work, it must be the complete
composition. Installations may be represented by an excerpted recording not

ASCAP/SEAMUS Student Competition will be from audio files in the MP3 format.
Multichannel works will be judged from a stereo mix, also MP3. Please assist
us by submitting in MP3 format.

€ Scores: for submissions involving a score, please submit an anonymized PDF
score for review. Please do not mail in printed scores at this time.

€ Video Submissions: note that for works involving video, only the audio
portion will be considered for judging purposes. You must be the composer of
the music for the video. Please submit an MP3 of the music as specified
above.

€ Only one (1) entry per student.
