    High time we had one of these I reckon - could a mod sticky it maybe?

    The DEAF deadline has gone by (any entries btw?), but here's one for the ambient heads
    The Var賥 Award

    DEAFand The South Tipperary Arts Centre announce a new international award for contemporary music composition in the field of ambient music.

    Named after the 'Father of Electronic Music' Edgard Var賥 (1883-1965), the award is intended to encourage exploration of Var賥's innovations in combining timbre and rhythm in what he termed "organised sound".

    The winner will be announced during DEAF 2008 and will receive a prize of 2000.

    Entries must be received before 5pm on Monday 1st September 2008, and must fulfill the following criteria:

    * The piece of music should be between 5 and 20 minutes in length.
    * The composition should have a title.
    * Composers should identify a location for which the music is composed e.g. shopping centre, factory floor etc.
    * Entries on CD only. One submission only per CD will be permitted. CDs will not be returned and the composer(s) should retain an original copy.

    The award is open to entries from anywhere in the world. Entries can be from an individual or group. Copyright or copyright related issues with regard to work(s) submitted will be the sole responsibility of the individual(s) submitting the work(s) to compete for the award. The judges' decision is final and no correspondence will be entered into.

    All entries should be posted to:
