When booking a recording slot with the ERO, the composer agrees to the following: Upon submission of the booking form, session details will be emailed to the email address provided on the form. These details will include information on how to connect remotely to the recording session, as well as protocol for uploading scores and parts to be printed and prepared for the session. Composers will be able to interact with our production personnel in the recording booth during their recording slot in order to provide feedback during the recording and help facilitate a successful session. The deadline for uploading scores and parts for the session will be exactly 72 hours (3 days) before the start date and time of the recording session. If the composer misses this scores and parts deadline, the composer will not be permitted to record. Submission of the form is final and non-refundable. In the unlikely event of unforeseen circumstances causing a cancellation of the recording session, the composer will have their payment returned in full. The ERO reserves the right to change the published date of the recording session if a schedule conflict arises. Composers will be notified of this date change. It is not mandatory for the composer to be present during the recording session. In this case, the ERO production personnel will record the music without the composer's input. When submitting to a recording session's associated Call for Scores, the composer agrees to the following: The Call for Scores for any given session will close 14 days prior to the start date of the session. Adjudication of all submissions will take place immediately and a winner will be named within 48 hours of the closing of the competition. The winner will be granted a recording slot on the session, and therefore agrees to the Terms and Conditions listed above for booking a recording slot.

One slot on every session is reserved for a Call for Scores winner. Composers can submit multiple entries to any of the Call for Scores. Composers can enter the Call for Scores by submitting a piece of their music that best demonstrates their creative voice as a composer. The winner will be given a recording slot on that session. Submitted music does not need to conform to the instrumentation for the recording session. Composers should submit their best music that demonstrates their creative voice and orchestration abilities. Submitted works can be for small or large ensembles, voice(s) or solo instruments, and can be either concert works or music for film. There are no restrictions on the type of music submitted to any of the Call for Scores. The European Recording Orchestra is searching for composers who demonstrate a high level of creative and orchestrational proficiency.
