The composition is to be a chorus of four or more voices, with or without solovoices, and with or without accompaniment.

The title page of each manuscript must be signed with an assumed name, which is also to be placed on the envelope of a sealed letter containing the real name, the address, and the department of the University, of the competitor. All manuscripts are to be sent to Arthur Foote. New England Conservatory of Music, Boston, by April 15, 1928.

The prize will not be awarded unless a composition is submitted which is worthy of the prize in the opinion of the judges.
