Time play is a competition for emerging composers and artists from the UK and Canada, using the Internet as the forum for exhibiting new work and offers a chance to travel to Montreal, win hard cash and feature on CD releases in 2003.

Co-ordinated by the Sonic Arts Network in the UK, and the Canadian Electroacoustic Community in Canada, the competition is aimed at creators of electronic music and sonic art – whether this be electroacoustic composition or other forms that demonstrate the art of organising sound events in time. Our intention is to provide an opportunity for artists to get their work heard and, through a panel of internationally acclaimed composers and artists, to draw comment, feedback and support.

Each submission is awarded marks by our panel and the top 5 UK entries will be awarded prizes. All 5 will receive performances of their work in Montreal and London, the first placed will actually travel to Montreal to give a performance of their work plus win prize money of £100. Prize money of £70 will be awarded to the second placed. The top 10 UK entries will feature on a joint SAN/CEC CD distributed freely across the globe.

There are very few obstacles to submitting your work. You have until May 2003 to create and deliver your work on CD to us. Prizes will be awarded in July 2003 with performances in the UK and Canada in the autumn and winter.
