We invite talented composers to showcase their trombone writing skills in this unique competition. Composers are invited to submit an original trombone quartet and/or octet of 6-8 minutes in length.

The winning composition will be announced in April 2026 during International Trombone Week (ITW). Its sheet music will be available to download from the ITA site at no cost for ensembles that wish to perform it during ITW 2026.

Trombone ensembles are encouraged to record and share their performances of the winning composition in celebration of International Trombone Week 2026.
