SEAMUS 2026 Performer-Curated Concert Submissions

SEAMUS 2026 Performer-Curated Concert Submission Form

Before proceeding, please review the details of the call for submissions at: https://seamusonline.org/seamus-2026-call/

Performers are welcome to submit a curated concert program for themselves and/or their ensemble. All of the pieces on the program  should feature electronics in some way.

To apply, the applicant should submit a program proposal that lists  the title, composer, duration, and technical requirements for each piece  and audio recordings of three recent performances (one of which must be  a live recording (not studio) and one of which must include the use of  electro-acoustics). Video recordings are not accepted. Recordings of the  proposed program are welcome but not required. This is a double blind,  peer reviewed evaluation process, and all submitted materials must be  strictly anonymous: the performer(s)’s name(s) must not appear anywhere  on the recording, proposal, or on the website from which the recording  is accessed.

Proposals will be evaluated upon the strength of the player(s), and  the cohesiveness, creativity, and feasibility of the proposed program.

Individuals are allowed one concert proposal submission to the conference. This includes proposals by multiple performers. If you are part of a collaboration or ensemble, you cannot submit an additional proposal as a soloist or in another ensemble in this category.

Adjudication & Anonymization Reminders

Adjudication of the SEAMUS National Conference is a double-blind review. This means that the judges do not know who you are, and are reviewing your work anonymously. Any distinguishing marks that negate the double-blind review will disqualify the submission, and cause it to be withdrawn from consideration.

Please note that iTunes and Compressor can automatically add your name to the ID3 tag when encoding audio to MP3. Make sure to remove all ID3 tags from your MP3. Please make sure that your name, or any other identifying marks, are not present in this metadata. Audio files that contain identifying information will be automatically withdrawn from consideration.

Membership

Active membership is required to submit. If you are not a SEAMUS member, or you have not renewed your membership, please go to SEAMUSonline.org to join or renew. 

You will also need a free Submittable account profile to access the submission form. This is a separate username and password from your SEAMUS account—they are not linked. Please use this to log in to the submission form.

Please direct any questions regarding your submission or the submission process to Adam Vidiksis, Director of Technological Development at: techdev@seamusonline.org.
