Composers’ Competitions

Up to the year 1998 the club held competitions for music compositions submitted by its members. From 2000 up to the year 2008 this competition became a national event, the first being held in the Library Theatre, Hanley, and later ones held biennially in various Accordion Festivals.

Owing to the considerable administration and cost involved for the club the competition was handed over to the National Accordion Organisation (NAO) in 2009. Since 2009 the NAO has run the competition each year at their UK Championship weekend, an event that we sponsor.
