WCDA is pleased to sponsor an annual competition which encourages the writing of new choral music by Wisconsin composers, both those born in Wisconsin and current residents.

The competition is open to all levels of choral music -- elementary, middle level, high school, college, church, and community. It is for new, unpublished choral works (not arrangements), approximately three to six minutes in length. The winner will be awarded a $250 stipend and the winning composition will be performed at the WCDA State Convention in the following year.
