FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

How do you define “emerging composer.”

There are many paths in this art form, and we welcome submissions from any composer who identifies as emerging. If you are applying to calls for scores, you are likely emerging in some sense of the word. We do not have an age restriction on our stage.

Is there a maximum length my piece can be?

We welcome pieces of any length, but are most likely to program works 20 minutes or less.

Can I submit works for piccolo, alto or bass flute?

Yes

Can I submit a piece with electronics?

Yes.

May I submit more than one piece?

Absolutely. If you want to submit an additional work, please fill out a second application and pay a second application fee.

If you have requested a fee waiver, then we kindly request you choose your single best work.

How many works will you select?

We plan to select at least one piece, and up to three. We can’t always program all of our favorites, and sometimes we save pieces “in our back pocket” for future programming.

Juventas reserves the right not to choose no winner, however, in our 21-year history, we have never exercised this option.

When will you announce the results?

We expect to announce the results in November, or sooner. We typically receive several hundred submissions and take the time to give each work the attention it deserves.

Am I required to attend the performance(s) of my work?

No. However, if you are able to join us, we love connecting with composers in-person and will invite you to introduce your work from the stage.
