The Newly Published Music Competition is a competition for publishers of music who are businesses, that is, legitimate members of the publishing community. Though the competition regularly examines new compositions for the flute, it is not, per se, a competition for new compositions for flute. The competition specifically discourages submissions from composers who make their music available on demand. While submissions for the competition may be entered by anyone, the competition endeavors to recognize, in priority, the publisher.
The winning publications which are performable works will be performed during subsequent conventions and will be given high priority as required works for subsequent competitions sponsored by the National Flute Association.
Winners were determined by committees of judges consisting of NFA Members who were assisted by specialists from the Music Community.
