Follow My Score 2026

Expired about 1 month ago

Score Follower

We are pleased to announce Follow My Score 2026, spring season. Approximately 30 works will be selected by the Score Follower jury, produced as “score videos,” and uploaded to our YouTube channel. Deadline: May 1, 2026.

This call has two tracks:

  • Follow My Score: Score Follower will synchronize your media and score if not already completed. Preference may be given to already synchronized score videos, but it is not required. Works without a traditional score and recording (for example, with a visual component) will still be considered; include a link to your video as an external link. All submissions will be reviewed by the Score Follower jury.

  • so delicious... (People's Choice): Composers may opt in at submission to be eligible at scorefol.io/callforworks. One composer chosen by the community will receive $1,000, an interview, and a total of three works produced and posted on our channel.

Result notifications will go out by July 1. If you want to make a score video in the meantime, you can build one in your browser now: scorefol.io/dashboard. This is not a commissioning contest.
