Get ready to see your music published in 2024 with Warwick Music Publishing...

To mark the 30th Birthday of Warwick Music, we are inviting composers to write an original piece of music for a celebration. This is a fantastic opportunity to have your music published by the UK's leading brass and wind publisher.

Want to know how you can get involved? Read on for more information!

Compose Yourselves!

Fanfare: The 30th Anniversary Competition is now open. Here are the rules:

  • The competition is open for entries between the 1st June and the 30th September 2024.
  • Your piece should be written for between 2-8 players, with any combination of brass and woodwind instruments.
  • Original and new compositions are accepted.
  • The theme is music for a celebration.
  • Your composition should be a minimum of two minutes and no longer than four minutes.

The competition will be divided into two categories: composers under 25 years of age and composers over 25 years of age.

How do I submit my entry to the competition?

Once you've crafted your composition, the Warwick Music team will need a Sibelius score, along with program notes that explain your piece. You can send these over by email to publishing@warwickmusic.com.

All entries will be presented to our editorial board, and we will announce the winners on the 1st November 2024.

What will the winners receive?

The lucky winners of each category will receive £200, and the winning pieces will be published and promoted by Warwick Music.

Send your entries to publishing@warwickmusic.com...and good luck.

Adam is the Content Manager at pBone Music. This should mean that he’s the ideal person to write about himself, but he finds boasting in the third person a little awkward. He honed his word wizardry with a degree in English Language and Literature at the University of Leeds. He has since written copy for clients and businesses across the land, from awards to something beginning with “z”. He also spent a number of years as a musician. He has written pop songs and even jingles for kids, performed more first dances at weddings than you could shake a pBuzz at, and once played a gig for a pie company at The Etihad Stadium in Manchester. When he’s not reminiscing about those good old days, you might find Adam enjoying the football (although as an Everton fan, that can be difficult). He also loves spending time with his partner, Jen, and his family and friends, and sincerely hopes they feel the same way.
