Your piece can be any genre or style, using any live instruments, virtual instruments or electronic elements you see fit, and must be no longer than 3 minutes in length.

Your Sound Collage will be judged on three components:

• Quality of your production
• Musicality
CONTEST SUPPORT:
The Learning Center will have a number of music technology related forum topics and software-training sessions to help you learn the tools to craft your Sound Collage.
