Open call: Alpine Fellowship Music Prize 2024
Applications are ongoing for the 2024 Alpine Fellowship Music Prize, which is open to all music composers around the world.
Running under the theme, Language, this year’s award will reward the winner with a £3 000 (about $3 700) cash prize and an invitation to attend and perform at the Alpine Fellowship’s annual symposium in Tuscany, Italy, from 6 to 9 July. Additionally, there will be up to £500 offered to assist with travel expenses, as well as meals and accommodation during the symposium.
Rules
- Applicants must be aged 18 and above.
- All application materials must be in English (music/songs can be in other languages, but application materials themselves should be in English)
- Applicants must be available and willing to travel to and perform their piece live at the 2024 symposium – the venue and dates will be announced soon.
Guidance for applicants
- This prize is aimed at those who both compose and can perform new music.
- This prize rewards the creation of a new piece of music that responds to the Language theme.
- The piece can be a written song or a piece of instrumental music and can be in any genre, style or on any instrument.
- Pieces should be no more than 30 minutes in length, there is no minimum length required.
- The piece should be able to be performed live at the symposium and should be able to be performed by the winner of the prize.
- Applications from multiple writers/performers are allowed. However, the prize money will be split between the winners (for example, if you’re a writing team you can expect £1 500 each).
- Limited technical equipment or amplification is available at the venue, so an acoustic performance is preferred.
Submission requirements
- A brief summary of your music experience or CV.
- A video of yourself performing your chosen piece (don’t worry about production quality, the Alpine Fellowship wants to get a sense of your abilities and style.)
- The lyrics/sheet music or any other written supporting information.
- A brief statement about how your piece responds to the Language theme.
- A brief statement about how your work will be performed at the symposium, including the number of musicians and any technical requirements.
