BBC Proms Young Composers' Competition

The BBC Proms is now calling for 12 to 18 year-old composers to enter the 12th annual BBC Proms Young Composers' Competition.

The winners – up to six in two age categories – are given unrivalled opportunities to reach wide audiences on world-class classical music platforms, the BBC Proms and BBC Radio 3, and have their music performed by professional musicians. They also receive a coveted BBC commission.

The 2009 winners wrote new pieces for the Last Night Of The Proms and had their work broadcast to millions around the world.
Entries to the competition are judged by a panel of leading composers from varied musical fields. Composers have until 28 May 2012 to submit their entries.
