• Submit by 6 January 2027. As of that date, entrants must be aged 12–22, be German citizens or live in Germany, and have not started a degree with composition as their major. Junior students may apply.
• Submit an individually authored score. An entry may already have been performed or entered in another competition, and normally may only be submitted once to Jugend komponiert. The published eligibility rules do not list recommendation letters.
• Register online and wait for the confirmation email. Download, complete and sign the work-submission form. Send it with the declaration and score(s) by email or post. Postal entries use the 6 January 2027 postmark. The registration page is headed 2027, but one consent checkbox still displays the prior edition.
