Everyone is invited to submit up to three pieces; however, only one piece per author will be accepted.

Submissions in these categories must not exceed the available sound system 8.2, described above. About Ambisonics composition, you must send the piece/s decoded already. Pieces including live performance can be programmed only if the author(s) provide the necessary performers.

Please submit a stereo mix down, the multichannel version will be requested in case of acceptance. For submissions in category 3, the recording should include the instrumental part(s).
