The MidAmerican Center for Contemporary Music (MACCM) at Bowling Green State University invites composers to submit scores for consideration for the 47th Annual New Music Festival (October 15-17, 2026). Selected works may be performed by distinguished faculty, guest performers, and/or student ensembles. Scores may also be considered for future MACCM year-round programming or New Music Festivals.

If selected for New Music Festival 47, composers will be asked to provide performance materials by May 2, 2026. Composers will receive a high-quality audio recording of the performance and the event will be live-streamed. Composers of selected works are encouraged to attend the Festival, October 15-17, 2026; MACCM can provide a $200 honorarium to help off-set travel expenses.

For best consideration, please submit works by March 1, 2026.
