Every other year, we invite submissions of original orchestral compositions from Canadians 32 years of age and under for judging by an expert panel.

$3,500 in cash prizes will be awarded in three categories: a $2,000 Grand Prize, a $1,000 Runner-up, and a $500 Promising High School Composer prize.

The Grand Prize composition is performed by EPO in the following season.

Applications close Friday November 10, 2023.
