Competition Results
The society has held a competition annually every year since 1984. Here you can browse the results; most years have details of the winners' tunes and later years have soundfiles too.. Also available are scores of most of the winning tunes from the New Composition Class. A project is underway to transfer all these results to searchable text articles, but the early years are still available only as images from Common Stock.
