Score Wars

Score Wars is the in-house composition contest of NDSU Music Composition. Held bimonthly at North Dakota State University's Challey School of Music this fall, each round challenges participants with secret ingredients and chaotic instructions to inspire their creativity. Composers will find performers and/or perform their own works. Audience favorites will be rewarded with trophies and bragging rights.
