Musicians from around the world are invited to participate in the V International Composition Competition for Symphonic Band ‘Estepona, Garden of the Costa del Sol’. The winning composer will receive a prize of 10,000 euros. The competition seeks to inspire composers to create symphonic pieces inspired by Estepona. Submissions are open until February 13, 2026, and the works should be written for a standard brass band and last between 12 to 20 minutes. The selection process includes three phases, with a jury evaluating the musical projects based on criteria such as the composer’s experience and dedication to symphonic music. The winning composition will be premiered in a public event, and the composer will not be eligible to participate in the following five editions of the competition. Detailed information and guidelines can be found on the official website of the Estepona City Council.
