As part of their Sound Junction scheme (www.soundjunction.org), the competition encourages youngsters to browse sound bites on the web site, then compose and remix in any genre they like, using an interactive on-line sequencer.

There are four age categories, but entrants must be under 20. The overall winner of all four categories will win a day with remixer and producer Colin Emmanuel (aka C Swing — Jamelia, Mary J Blige and Beverly Knight) in London’s Miloco studios. The winners of each age group will win their very own copy of Steinberg’s Cubase SX3.

Entries must be in by the 10th July and up to five pieces can be submitted per applicant. Check out the web site for more information.
