Winners | Submissions | Events | Awards | Jury

Recent works by young and/or emerging composers and sound artists from or living in Canada are featured in the 20th edition of Jeu de temps / Times Play, coordinated annually by the CEC since 2000.

Jeu de temps / Times Play (JTTP) is an annual project aimed at supporting and encouraging new electroacoustic works by young and/or emerging sound artists from / living in Canada. A diverse international jury adjudicates and selects the top five prize-winning works. For each edition of the project, a series of events are coordinated featuring JTTP works, including radio broadcasts of JTTP submissions and performances of the winning works in concert by our Project Partners in Canada and abroad. Prize packages are awarded to the composers of the five top-placing works, and all submissions are featured on these pages and in Sonus, the CEC’s online Jukebox for electroacoustic and related practices.
