Composers are invited to submit up to two compositions for possible inclusion on the festival program. Chamber and electronic compositions must be under ten minutes in length. Preference will be given to more recent works and to composers from the Midwest and Great Lakes region. Submitted works can fit into any of these four categories:
1. Compositions under five minutes for (a) Ball State Chamber Choir, an ensemble of 32 graduate and advanced undergraduate singers; (b) Ball State Concert Choir, an ensemble of 50–60 singers, mostly undergraduate music majors.
2. Compositions for fixed audio or audio/video media, and/or live computer/electronics; installations. Works can be diffused over a sound system of up to 8 channels with a subwoofer.
3. Instrumental/vocal or mixed-media (electronics with instruments/vocal) compositions for which composers can provide their own performers.
4. Instrumental/vocal or mixed-media compositions for any instrument or combination of instruments. Compositions that draw from the following instrumentation will have the best chance of being programmed: fl, cl, ob, bsn, hn, tpt, tbn, sax, vln, vla, classical gtr, harp, pno, perc, and soprano or mezzo-soprano voices.
