Youth Composition Contest

The Youth Musician Commission (YMC) of Massey Hall and Roy Thomson Hall is pleased to announce their 5th Annual Youth Composition Contest!

Do you know a high school student who writes songs or composes their own music? This competition is designed for youth by youth and encourages young musicians to explore the process of music-making. High school students from across Canada are welcome to submit their original music for a chance to win one of the top prizes.

For the first time, there are two categories: one for classical and other instrumental compositions, and one for lyrical compositions.

The songs will be adjudicated by professional artists and winners will receive feedback on their compositions. There are two grand prizes of $100 gift cards from Long & McQuade.

All genres of music are welcome. One entry per person. Submissions are due by April 30, 2024.
