The Composition Prize was established in 2014 and is now internationally known. Young composers from all over the world, up to 40 years of age, can participate. In addition to the prize, the winner will be asked to compose an original piece for the winner of the “Contemporary Music” prize of the same year's Luigi Nono International Chamber Music Competition, awarded to the best musician performing a piece after the year 1950. The commissioned piece will be performed in a dedicated concert in the following season of the Friends for Music APS Association.
