Christine from the AB forums has asked me to pass on the following to anyone who might be interested on these fora 
:
Hi everyone,
As I know we have several budding composers on these forums, I thought you might all want to know about the Composer Competition launched on the new Associated Board website, SoundJunction - www.soundjunction.org
Hip hop guru and Radio 1 DJ, Rodney P and Colin Emmanuel (aka C Swing) - producer to musical talents such as Jamelia, Beverley Knight and Mary J Blige - are joining forces with composers Errollyn Wallen, David Horne, Jason Yarde and Tunde Jegede, to seek out new UK musical talent.
How to Enter
To enter, all you have to do is create a composition of around five minutes, using the tools, samples and sounds available on the SoundJunction website. The site is full of music - from drum 'n' bass, jazz, and West African to rock, classical and more.
Compositions can be of any style, although the judges are looking for the most imaginative ways of using the different music styles in the site. There are four age categories: under 13s, 13 to 14-year-olds, 15 to 16-year-olds and 17 to 19-year-olds.
Prizes on offer
The first prize includes a day in the world famous Miloco recording studios in London with Colin Emmanuel who will work with the winner to produce their remix into a professional quality CD.
A copy of Cubase, the music production software, will also be presented to the winner of each age category so that they can continue with their musical career.
For inspiration, entrants should check out the website. SoundJunction has recently commissioned three new works (classical, jazz and West African), as well as six new remixes. Entrants can watch interviews with the composers and find out how the remix artists created their work – then get composing.
Entry is via the website – www.soundjunction.org – and the deadline is 10 July 2006.
Judges:
Colin Emmanuel – producer extraordinaire
Rodney P – hip hop guru and BBC Radio1Xtra presenter
Errollyn Wallen – singer-songwriter and composer
David Horne – classical composer and concert pianist
Tunde Jegede – composer and West African kora player
Jason Yarde – jazz, hip hop composer, producer, musician
Competition details:
The competition is free to enter and once created, entrants should submit their piece using the online form. Entries must be submitted by 10 July 2005. The competition is open to UK residents under 20 but anyone is encouraged to submit their compositions. Full details of this and the terms and conditions are available at www.soundjunction.org.
