Own composition, to be submitted by email.

A copy of the composition for the Adjudicator must be sent, to be received by 17 ^th February 2024, to the Entries Co-ordinator, entries@newcastlefestival.org.uk giving the full name of the competitor, contact details and class number.

The composition is to be played, or sung, at the festival. It can be for solo or a small group of instruments or voices not exceeding six performers including a conductor, if used. The composer(s) is the named entrant for this class. The onus is on the entrant to arrange for the performance of the composition, although the entry will not be judged on the performance or the lyrics. The composer need not perform but must be present for the Adjudication.

(The Composition should not have been previously published or entered in another festival. The festival organisers reserve the right to publish the work where this would help promote the festival.)

These classes could be held on the Friday or Saturday of the music weekend.

Trophy to be awarded to the winner at the discretion of the Adjudicator.
