Attn Queensland High School Composers: ScoreIT! 2018 Entries Are Now Open

This could be the start of something.

More Katie Noonan Katie Noonan

If you’re in high school and are a budding film composer then listen up because entries for Queensland Music Festival's 2018 ScoreIT! competition have just opened.

Open to anyone in years 7 - 12, students will be required to submit their original written score for a short film produced by Griffith Film School. 

From there, submissions will be put before an expert panel, including Katie Noonan, Cameron Patrick, known for orchestrating films such as Spider-Man: Homecoming, Star Trek Into Darkness and Jurassic World as well as industry leaders from around Queensland.

The lucky finalists will then be invited to take part in exclusive workshops and masterclasses leading up to the awards ceremony where the winning score will be performed by a live orchestra.

Entries close Friday 18 May with the awards ceremony set for Wednesday 25 July. For more information, head over to the Queensland Music Festival website.
