Jugend komponiert opens a dedicated electronic-sound category

Jugend komponiert has opened its 2027 Austrian call with a category for electronic sound generation. Composers up to age 19 can submit a concert piece, freely instrumented work or electronic composition; the electronic category explicitly excludes artificial intelligence.

Austrian Composers publishes the primary call, with Musik der Jugend as a partner. mica confirms the categories and the 18 January 2027 deadline.

A dedicated pathway recognises production and sound design as composition for young musicians who often encounter competitions designed around scores and acoustic ensembles.
