6th Iannis Xenakis International Electroacoustic Composition Competition: €600 Top Prize

The Contemporary Music Lab at Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, Greece, invites composers worldwide to the sixth Iannis Xenakis International Competition of Electronic Music. The call focuses on fixed-media acousmatic works played through loudspeakers, without live sound intervention.

Composers of any age and nationality may enter one anonymous work, 7–15 minutes long, using no more than eight channels. Previous winners of this competition are not eligible. Previously performed works are permitted only if they are not subject to recording or publication rights. Applicants should follow the organiser's exact anonymity and audio-file requirements.

Cash awards are €600, €400 and €300, with five works distinguished and a concert of selected music planned for November 2027. The entry fee is €15. The published competition closing date is 1 January 2027, but the university payment interface displays 31 December 2026; submit and settle the fee early to avoid this discrepancy. Registration is via the specified online form, followed by a ZIP submission with audio, information and fee receipt using the organiser's instructions.
