Win recording sessions
and more great prizes.
Submit your original music for adjudication by a jury of over a dozen industry professionals, curated by the Film Scoring Academy of Europe and the European Recording Orchestra (ERO), for the chance to win great prizes and studio recording sessions of your music.
The 2024 Call for Scores includes more prizes for more composers than ever before.
Submit music of any instrumentation. There are no restrictions on instrumentation, duration, style, or the composer's age, ethnicity or experience. Submit examples of your best music.
Submit more than one piece and let your creative voice speak for you. Adjudication takes into account the composer's unique compositional voice as displayed across multiple submissions.
Composers must submit a PDF and mp3 of their music via the form below. mp3's can be notation software audio renderings, MIDI mockups or live recorded audio.
