Young Composers Competition

The Ebor Singers hold an annual Young Composer Competition offering an opportunity for composers between the ages of 16 and 25 in the north-east to write new choral works. As well as cash prizes, one composer is appointed 'composer-in-residence' to the choir. 

The 2008 Young Composer Competition was supported by Oxford University Press, Banks Music, and Boreas Music.
