About the Contest

Sponsored by the National Association for Music Education, the Electronic Music Composition Contest recognizes outstanding compositions and is held to highlight the effectiveness of music technology in the school curriculum. Entries will be judged based on their aesthetic quality, use of electronic media, and the power of the composition and its presentation in communicating the excitement and effectiveness of electronic music composition in the school curriculum.

Each year, Association member adjudicators select a finalist in each of the three categories: Elementary, Middle, and High School.
