Bowling Green 47th Annual New Music Festival Call for Scores

The MidAmerican Center for Contemporary Music (MACCM) at Bowling Green State University invites composers to submit scores for consideration for the 47th Annual New Music Festival (October 15-17, 2026). Selected works may be performed by distinguished faculty, guest performers, and/or student ensembles. Scores may also be considered for future MACCM year-round programming or New Music Festivals.

If selected for New Music Festival 47, composers will be asked to provide performance materials by May 2, 2026. Composers will receive a high-quality audio recording of the performance and the event will be live-streamed. Composers of selected works are encouraged to attend the Festival, October 15-17, 2026; MACCM can provide a $200 honorarium to help off-set travel expenses.
