ISCM / IAMIC Young Composer Award 2011
The winner of this year's ISCM/IAMIC Young Composer Award is Taiwanese composer Chiu-Yu Chou (b. 1981), a PhD student at the University of Manchester. The winning piece, her String Quartet No. 1, was performed by the Song String Quartet during the ISCM World New Music Days in Zagreb on 13 April 2011.
The ISCM/IAMIC Young Composer Award, initiated in 2002, is awarded annually to a composer under 35 years of age whose work is performed during the festival. The award includes a commission for a new work which will be played during next year's ISCM World New Music Days. Ms. Chou was chosen from 20 eligible candidates from around the world.
Shortly after hearing the announcement, Ms Chou spoke to Frank J. Oteri of IAMIC about the award and her future plans.

SoundSea - Music of the Mediterranean
In a collaboration between IAMIC, the Association for the Promotion of the Music of the Mediterranean (MoM) and Kufstein University of Applied Sciences, a survey is being carried out to investigate the online presence of artists.
In order to help musicians maximise the potential of their presence on the web, and help emerging musicians establish themselves and share experiences, it is important to know why there are still disparities around the world in how creative artists use the Internet.
We invite you to complete this short questionnaire which will take five to ten minutes. It will provide us with valuable information.
