About SCION

The Society of Composers, Inc., Online News (SCION) is a listing of opportunities for composers. With in-depth coverage, full content listings, and items posted constantly until they expire, SCION is an invaluable resource for composers of all stripes. In addition to online listings, each opportunity has a printer-friendly page to make putting together your submissions easier.

List Your Opportunity in SCION

To submit your opportunity, send the information by e-mail to scion@societyofcomposers.org. Preferred formats are: plain text in the body of an e-mail, HTML, Word or WordPerfect documents, or Acrobat (PDF). SCION release announcements are scheduled for the first Monday of every month. Send your information at least a week before the issue is due for the best chance for inclusion.

SCION does not usually publish submissions in their entirety. Items are edited to a paragraph or two of the most important details, along with contact information for composers who choose to pursue the opportunity further. It is convenient for SCION readers (and might save your time) if full information is available on a web page which can be linked from the listing.

Once listed, opportunities will be repeated until the deadline passes. Items with no deadline will be listed in two consecutive issues. Ongoing calls with no deadline may be resubmitted once every year.

Sample Issue of SCION

Below is a screen shot of the SCION interface. SCION formerly was distributed to SCI members via email, but we have moved to a dynamic system for posting composition opportunities. Each month, the SCI membership is reminded that SCION has been updated, though the publication is constantly updated by the editors.

Current issues are always available in the member account area. Questions regarding SCION should be directed to John Bilotta, editor of SCION.
