[Vox Novus List]

UnTwelve announces its 2nd annual composition competition
 
We are delighted to offer yet again a unique opportunity for composers and
for the budding field of new tunings, temperaments, and microtonality! We
are looking for NEW works in any medium (do not send us things which were
sitting on your shelf, or things you have already released in any
manner---the idea is that this competition spurs you creativity NOW) which
reflect the potential of using tunings/temperaments other than 12-equal.
 
First prize is $400.00 (USD). We will also recognize 2nd and 3rd place
finalists, but these prizes will carry no cash award.
 
Here are the rules and regulations:
 
The contest is international. You may be of any nationality, or any age, to
enter
Work and online application data must be presented to us by the deadline of
Dec. 15th, 2010
Works are to be judged on their final recorded form in FLAC audio format.
Scores will not be considered; in fact, you will have no means to send us a
score.
Works must be between 5 and 10 minutes in length
Works must be in a tuning or temperament other than 12-tone equal
temperament, and should NOT be in a closely related temperament to 12-equal
such as a Baroque well-temperament. Suggested example tunings: Just
Intonation (preferably exploiting sonorities beyond the 5-limit traditional
triad), Wilson 'CPS tunings' like the Dekany or Eikosany, any non-12 equal
division of the octave, the Bohlen-Pierce scale, or any other such
non-octave scale, tunings invented by the composer based on mathematical
principles or formulae, etc.
No fee is required to enter
UnTwelve reserves the right to grant no prize if no piece is determined to
be of sufficient quality.
The panel of judges will be formally annouced in mid-September

Feel free to spread the word of this competition far and wide. We are
interested in spreading the reach of our mission, and as such welcome the
ability to encourage composers out of our normal communicative reach!

We look forward to hearing your work!

Best,

The UnTwelve crew
