In 2017 the University of Lethbridge celebrates its 50th anniversary. To commemorate this milestone, the Faculty of Fine Arts invites submissions of original vocal compositions.
Vocal works in all styles and genres are acceptable. While the subject matter of the composition is not prescribed, it is anticipated the song would both celebrate the anniversary and the University’s purpose -- the pursuit of knowledge and education of tomorrow’s citizens.
The composer of the winning submission receives a $4,000 award and the composition will be performed at events throughout the 50th anniversary year, including university convocation. Therefore, the composition must be suitable for transcription and different orchestrations.

- Along with the actual composition, submissions must be accompanied by a separate Word document containing the lyrics and the score for the composition.
