Signature wanted
In the course of preparing for the jubilee year 2024 for Bruckner’s 200th birthday, the state of Upper Austria is holding a competition for the composition of a “sound logo” (funding: 3000 euros). They are looking for a signature “that refers equally to the traditional ‘classic’ genre and also offers a modern sound design”. Submissions are possible until November 6, 2022. Information on the competition can be found at: www.land-oberoesterreich.gv.at
