At the end of the concert, a first, second, and third place winner will be announced from the stage.

Second and third place winners, in addition to the performance and recording, will receive one-year associate memberships to the SCA.
Seattle Composers Alliance is a non-profit professional organization made up of working composers, students, and others interested in professional music composition. The SCA was created so that composers could gather with their peers in a relaxed, non-competitive atmosphere and share knowledge, experience and information. We also offer special forums and seminars of interest to our members. Our other goals include expanding Seattle’s reputation as a center for musical creativity and providing educational resources for composers in the greater Seattle community.
