CHALLENGE 

In 2020 we partnered with the Australian Music Examination Board (AMEB) in launching the inaugural Women in Music Festival Student Composition Challenge, and offered students the opportunity to write a short piece - inspired by poetry - for a prescribed ensemble or instruments from that ensemble, namely flute, voice, piano and percussion.

​

With five genre categories to choose from, student composers have the chance to win cash and prizes:: click here for all the details.
