Announcement

Due to very limited participants we have decided together with the Jury that The Stellar Composer Competition will be an every second year event. For the people that participated this year, we will reimburse the entry fee of 40 USD, and next year the entry will once again be reduced to 5 USD.

We hope for your understanding, and look very much forward to return strongly in 2023.

The 2nd prize winner from the 2021 Stellar Composer Competition has now been reviewed by the biggest percussion magazine in the world.
