Colorado Composers Competitions

Every few years, Ars Nova invites aspiring and established composers from our home state to compete for a chance to hear their bespoke choral scores rehearsed and performed. Winners are announced in three categories (Grades 6–12, Undergrads, and Professionals/Graduate Students) and receive cash awards, composition guidance, rehearsal opportunities, promotion, and a world premiere performance by Ars Nova Singers!
