Compositions can be in the form of hymns, folk songs, praise songs, anthems, or children's songs. A full score must be included for each submission; an audio tape also is requested.

Deadline for all submissions is June 30, 2005. The name, address, and phone number of the composer should not appear on the score but should be included on a separate page. All compositions become property of the Annual Conference Anniversary Committee and will not be returned.
