The construction of the festival is based on the rules of the ISCM organisation of international festivals ("Rules of Procedures"). The core of the festival are comprised of compositions submitted by different ISCM membership organisations from around the world, which send their proposals for works to the festival. Individuals may also submit their compositions for consideration. The selection of works, from among hundreds of entries, is made by the appointed ISCM jury, and represent a significant portion of the festival program. Remaining compositions are chosen by the organisers of the festival.
The postmark deadline for all entries is 30 June, 2012..
Submission results will be announced by the end of 2012.
The basic criteria considered by the International Jury is a high artistic level of compositional ability, stylistic and national diversity, and a broad representation of members of the ISCM.
We kindly invite you to submit scores/projects for The ISCM World Music Days Wrocław 3–12 October 2014. Due to the “Rules of Procedure for the Organisation of the ISCM World Music Days Festival”, submissions should be official (by ISCM Members) or individual. Only one work per composer may be submitted for a given ISCM-WMD Festival, whether through official or individual submissions. Categories No. 6 and 16 are excluded from such limitations. That means that a composer whose compositions were submitted as an official or individual entry in one of the other categories, could additionally submit entries in categories No. 6 or 16 as an individual entry (the entry fee is obligatory for each additional entry in such categories).
An official submission by a Section or Full Associate Member only, will enjoy an exclusive right of having at least one submitted work guaranteed to be selected for performance in the ISCM-WMD Festival, if the submission fulfils the following rules: The official submission should consist of exactly six works (which is specified in the “Rules of Procedure for Membership Categories”). Over half of the total number of submitted works must be in different categories, as specified in this “Call for Scores/Projects”.
Multimedia and electronics are possible in each category. Preference will be given to shorter compositions, and to pieces composed after 2006.
The full version of “Call for Scores/Projects” and categories for entries are available at regulation.
