About Call for Scores
To connect with women globally, LunART holds an annual Call for Scores, open to women composers of all ages and nationalities. Up to three works are selected to be performed at our Annual Festival which will take place the first week of June in Madison, WI.
Winning composers receive:
-
A cash prize of $300 for up to three winning composers
-
Performance of composition at the Gala Concert
-
Professional live audio & video recording of composition
-
An invitation to attend the Festival
If able to attend the festival, composers receive:

Free housing
-
Free entry into all festival events
-
Collaborative rehearsal time with festival performers
Since the first Call for Scores in 2018, we have received hundreds of compositions from composers around the world. While LunART celebrates both women artists both past and present, we place a special value and priority on programming works by contemporary and living composers. We welcome all composers, no matter your age and level of experience to submit new works!
Meet our Past Winners
I was so grateful and honored to be a part of the 2023 LunART Festival. Surrounded by other women composers and listening to their stories and music, we knew we became lifelong friends and supporters of each other. It was a one-of-a-kind experience for me. The LunART team’s talent, musicianship, hard work, passion, support, and hospitality were all top-notch. I absolutely loved the vibe, and I hope I can be there again!
