SUMMARY:November 2026 Meetup and Composition/Arrangement Competition
DESCRIPTION:Composition Competition\n\n\n\nOwn arrangement or composition  \n\n\n\nFollowing the success of last year’s competition\, this month we have a special composition/arrangement competition. \n\n\n\nJudges to be announced.  \n\n\n\n\nFrom 2026\, there is an Open section (accepting compositions from the general UK-based public). You may play your own composition for classical guitar / ensemble or ask a different performer to perform it. \n\n\n\nThere is still a Members-only section (active BCGS members only)\, judged separately.\n\n\n\n\nTerms and conditions apply! \n\n\n\n\nIt must be your own composition or arrangement\, written or finished in 2026\n\n\n\nFrom 2026\, AI-assisted compositions must be declared as such and accompanied with a declaration of how AI was used in the composition and your role in the creative process. Fully AI-generated compositions with no human role beyond prompting are not permitted. Compositions which are AI assisted\, but which do not declare this\, will be disqualified.\n\n\n\nYou must not have used this composition as an entry for any previous competition (including outside BCGS)\n\n\n\nYou consent to a video or recording of your composition going on the BCGS website\n\n\n\nIf it’s an arrangement\, it should be fairly novel\, rather than just slight tweaks on a common arrangement (e.g. just a different key)\n\n\n\nFor BCGS member entrants section\, first prize £100\, and £50 and a set of D’Addario strings as a prize for the runner-up!\n\n\n\nFor the Open section\, prizes to be announced (check back soon!)\n\n\n\nIf you can’t confidently play your composition\, you may ask someone else to perform it for you\n\n\n\nThe first prize winner of the previous year’s competition is excluded from winning again\, but is welcome to participate again this year and receive an Honourable Mention award.\n\n\n\n\nProgramme\n\n\n\n19:15COMPOSITION/ARRANGEMENT COMPETITIONPerformances and judging of the member competition entries21:10ENSEMBLEDouble Ensemble Rehearsal
