En route vers l’Odyssée
Video game soundtrack composers: We invite you to enter a special contest organized by the Guilde des Développeurs de Jeux vidéo Indépendants du Québec in partnership with Loto-Québec. Submit an original composition — for which you hold the copyright — for the chance to have it performed in concert at l’Odyssée Musicale du jeux vidéo on November 8, 2018, at Théâtre Saint-Denis in Montreal!
They will have the opportunity to see it played by the Montreal Orchestra Company, under the direction of Adam Johnson, during the Odyssée musicale du jeu vidéo concert. What’s more, the winning composer will receive the $1,000 Judge’s Favourite prize remitted by Loto-Québec. It is a golden opportunity for composers to hear one of their pieces performed along with those from the biggest video games produced in Québec.
The Guilde, in association with Loto-Québec, is proud to provide a showcase for talented Québec music composers. This a unique opportunity to have their work performed by over 60 musicians and singers in a room filled with video gaming fans. By promoting up-and-coming talent, we ensure that Québec remains a world leader in every aspect of the video gaming industry.
Thank you!
