Psalm Chant Competition 2026

PRISM's International Psalm Chant Competition for 2026 is well underway and we're getting positive responses from many musicians. PRISM's Board of Directors has heard that some teenage composers are already working on their chants, so competition could be brisk this year.

The competition opened on 1 November and will close at 11.59pm GMT on Saturday 28 February 2026. The winner and runner up will be announced on Monday 30 March on this website and our FB page.

Established to foster creativity and connections across the globe, this competition is a fantastic opportunity to let your composition skills and creativity shine through an original composition of an Anglican psalm chant, based on the text of one of the 150 Psalms, and to be sung in the context of a church service.

The requirements for the competition are provided on the Resources page with the examples of past winners to inspire. Let's "Sing to the Lord a new song"!
