The purpose of the Fifth International Festival of Women Composers is to be an international crossroads for networking among women composers and their advocates. It will be co-sponsored by the International Women Composers Library and University of Florida School of Music. We encourage the submission of works by female composers for performance on the Composers' Concerts, one of which will be an American Guild of Organists Member's Recital.

We also welcome the submission of papers and round-table discussions which may focus on theory, research, or practice developed from a wide spectrum of topics in women's studies in music. Please submit 3 copies of a 200-word proposal accompanied by a cover page stating your name, address, institution, phone number, and technical requirements via email to minerva@afn.org.
