The National Young Composers Challenge is an annual composition competition for students ages 14 to 18, inviting participants to write original works for small ensemble (2 to 6 instruments) or full orchestra. Submissions are evaluated by a panel of expert judges, with the top three orchestral and top three ensemble compositions selected for professional performance and recording by the Orlando Philharmonic Orchestra. Winners are featured at the NYCC Composium, held at the prestigious Dr. Phillips Center for the Performing Arts in Orlando, Florida, and winning orchestral composers receive a $1,000 prize. It is one of the most distinguished opportunities available for young composers to have their work brought to life by a professional orchestra.
