APPLICATION GUIDE
This document is intended to help you organize your application for Premio Sur de Música Nueva Latinoamericana. Please note that preparing your application will take a reasonable amount of time. Do not leave it until the last minute.
Part 1: Prepare your files
We recommend creating a new folder on your computer and placing the necessary files in it, which are:
The completed application form in PDF format.
The payment receipt in PDF format.
The statemente of authorship, which you must fill in with your name, place, signature, etc.
A copy of your official identity document if your nationality is from a Latin American country; if your nationality is from a non-Latin American country, but you reside in the region, you must submit a copy of your residence permit. The document should be in PDF format as a single page.
The score of your work.
Carefully fill out the application form. Please respect the space limits recommended for the sections "Short bio" and "Program note". Keep in mind that, to ensure the anonymity of the score, the selection committee members will not have access to this document.
Carefully fill out statemente of authorship for the work.
Merge the first four documents on the list into a single PDF file: application form, payment receipt, authorship letter, and official identity document. You can do this directly from your computer or by using an online tool.
Edit the final file of your score to remove your name from all parts of the document. The score must be completely anonymous.
Rename the new file that contains the four documents using the following model: datos_premiosur_01011986 where the last eight digits should be your birth date in DDMMYYYY format. The goal is to avoid having two files with the same name.
Rename your score file using the following model: partitura_premiosur_01011986 where the last eight digits should be your birth date in DDMMYYYY format.
Part 2: Prepare your submission
From your email account, prepare a new message to sureditions@mail.com
In the subject line, write: Premio Sur 01011986 where the last eight digits should be your birth date in DDMMYYYY format. Pay close attention to this – if you make any typographical errors, your application may be discarded by the automatic filters of the email account.
In the body of the email, copy and paste only the following text, without any greetings or farewells:
Esta es una postulación al Premio Sur de Música Nueva Latinoamericana 2026
Attach the file datos_premiosur_01011986 first.
Attach the file partitura_premiosur_01011986 second.
Send your email, which will submit your application. You will receive a confirmation from our team within the next three business days after submitting your application.
