About the organization
The Phoenix Boys Choir, founded in 1947, is one of the oldest and most respected boys' choral organizations in the United States. Its mission centers on developing young male singers through rigorous musical training and performance, with a repertoire spanning classical, folk, and contemporary works. The organization has long been committed to commissioning new music, and its New Works Rising competition extends this ethos by inviting composers to contribute to the choral canon. While based in Phoenix, Arizona, the competition has an international reach, reflecting a global commitment to choral excellence.

Submissions should demonstrate a clear understanding of choral writing and may benefit from prior experience with youth ensembles.
