The Indiana Music Educators Association is pleased to announce a new, ongoing project: the annual IMEA Composition Competition, designed to encourage Indiana's young musicians to compose and to create the opportunity for young musicians to experience performing the world premier of a work.

The competition has high school and college undergraduate divisions, and many categories from large ensemble to chamber and solo music.

All composers will receive written comments back from the competition judges, to help insure that students have a learning experience. Winning works will be invited for performance at the IMEA State Convention in Indianapolis.

We encourage you and your students to read more about the competition on these pages, and hope that many of your students submit their work this fall.

Please contact IMEA Composition Competition Chair Judd Danby with any questions.
