For the fifth time, Allmänna Sången and Anders Wall together with Gehrmans Musikförlag AB arrange the Allmänna Sången & Anders Wall Composition Award, a competition for women composers. The prize includes, in addition to a prize sum of SEK 60,000, that the winning piece is premiered by Allmänna Sången and published by Gehrmans Musikförlag AB.

The competition is international and targets women composers irrespective of profession or nationality. All entries will be reviewed by a reputable international jury.

Rules

• Only women composers may participate in the competition.
• The submitted piece must not have been published or performed previously.
