The vision of the Ellis-Beauregard Foundation is to encourage, expand and sustain the courageous and imaginative dialogue that is fundamental to the arts. The Ellis-Beauregard Foundation celebrates the value of art to transcend cultures and engage with diverse communities. Through its programs, the Ellis-Beauregard Foundation supports the exploration of the common ground that art occupies, the way it engages people, and its ability to reveal shared human experience.
To that end and in honor of David Ellis and Joan Beauregard’s love of music, the Ellis-Beauregard Foundation is offering a $50,000.00 Composer Award for the creation of a new work. The work will be performed by the Bangor Symphony Orchestra in their 2025-26 season at the Collins Center for the Arts in Orono, Maine. The composer will receive a recording of the performance. The composer will be invited to work with communities in Maine and attend rehearsals as part of a residency leading up to the premiere performance, with travel and lodging provided.
Eligibility Criteria
The only limitations are:
Composer must be at least 18 years of age.
Composer must be a U.S. resident.
Composers currently enrolled in a degree-granting program will not be considered.
Current board and staff members of the Ellis-Beauregard Foundation and Bangor Symphony Orchestra, as well as current jury members, are not eligible to apply.
Composers who have received the EBF Composer Award previously will not be considered.
