The third Annual Report of the Carnegie United Kingdom Trust
contains full details of a new and important publication scheme for the purpose of encouraging British composers in the practice of their art. They are invited to submit original unpublished com- positions to a Board of Adjudication constituted by the Trustees The awards, made annually in respect of not more than six works considered to be of conspicuous merit by the adjudicators, will secure to the composers : (1) publication of their works at the expense of the Trustees ; (2) copyright, together with all the royalties obtained by sale of copies to the public. To ensure that the works submitted shall be of high artistic aim it is stipulated that they must belong to one of the following classes : (a) Concerted Chamber Music for three or more instruments ; (b) Concerto for one or more solo instruments with orchestral accompaniment ; (c) Choral work with orchestral accompaniment ; (d) Symphony or other orchestral work of an important nature ; (e) Opera or Musical Drama, including Incidental Music to Plays. It may be noted that no age-limit is imposed ; and that the composers must be of British parentage and nationality.
