Do you have non-competition videos that I could use to practise my compositional techniques?
Yes. That’s precisely why we’ve introduced the FMC Library, which is open all year round. Here, you’ll find all the official trailers produced by our team, plus we’ve unlocked the rights to them. As time goes on, we plan to add more content we have produced to the library. We’re working on original short films of various genres tailor-made for you, produced entirely by our studio. The rights we grant you allow you to post and share these videos online on all the promotional channels you use – websites, social media, and mailing lists. Experiment with compositional techniques, hone your skills, and have fun in your studio. Boost your portfolio with professional video material.
Do you offer cash as a competition prize?
Yes, this year we are bringing back a cash prize for all competition categories.
Is there any way for contestants to get the official contest trophy? As a contestant, can I buy an official FMC trophy?
In addition to the trophies for the absolute winners. We are releasing a limited-edition trophy for contestants, which you can purchase in our new FMC Library section.
You can buy the limited-edition trophy here:
Can I share film with my music online? Can I still include and use the film with my original score in my portfolio?
You can share content online for your own promotional purposes, as long as you don’t monetise it. You can do this at any time during or after the competition. Just remember to follow the simple rules and, in your description, include the text from the film-makers that you’re given. You can find all the information you need, plus the text to share, in the FMC Guide that comes with the film.
All contestants who register for one or more film score categories can use them for further presentation and include them in their portfolios whenever they want during and after the competition. You can use your competition entry to apply for work on various film, television, or video commercial projects in the future.
Does your competition have a professional jury or is it decided differently?
We rely on a quality jury with big names from the beginning and your compositions are evaluated by international music and film business experts from the EU, Asia, Australia and the US, who work actively for national television, the largest Asian and Hollywood film studios as well as Netflix. More about the jurors here.
Does your international competition have an official trophy or certificate?
Of course, we have original custom made trophies for the absolute winners of all competition categories. You can watch the trophy on a video here.
All finalists of the competition will receive an official certificate which will be a reminder and confirmation of your recognition, and you can hang it in the recording studio.
Can I compete and advance in more then one category?
You can become a finalist in several categories to which you are registered, if the jury selects your music or film.
I do not have a PayPal account, can I pay for registration also by credit card?
Yes, you can pay safely with your credit card.
Can I apply even if I am under 18?
Yes, but the application form must be filled in and approved by your parent.
