Works should use standard orchestral instrumentation and doublings. Works requiring electronics or special effects are not eligible. Works must not have been previously performed, recorded or published professionally.
The winning composition will be performed during the Austin Symphony’s High School Concerts Tour, January 18 – 21, 2011.
