National Competition for Composers' Recordings
Scholarship Overview
The National Competition for Composers’ Recordings requires applicants who have been accepted by the CRS committee to send an acceptance letter and submit a final date of work(s) to be recorded upon the approval of CRS. In the event a jointly approved date is not accomplished in sixty days of acceptance, applicants will forfeit all rights to recording with CRS. Each contestant must complete their agreed recorded work(s) for CRS before becoming free to release new recordings elsewhere. Accepted applicant/ensemble, will contribute all artistic service to this recording for the above benefits.
If this sounds like a good opportunity for you, we encourage you to apply! Keep on reading to learn more.
