Prize packages are offered to the composers of the Winning Works and Composers in Jeu de temps / Times Play 2015 and cash prizes are additionally offered to the composers of the top three works. Each year, the generous donations by our Project Partners — a diverse collection of interested and supportive individuals and institutions across Canada and around the world — make it possible for us to offer several thousand dollars worth of CDs, DVDs, books, magazine subscriptions and more to JTTP winners.

Our Media Partners help us promote the project through the coordination of various Events, Concerts and Radio Broadcasts that feature JTTP works throughout the year. Visit the Participants and Submissions page any time to listen to all 48 submissions to the 16th edition of JTTP, and to read programme notes and composer biographies.

Concert Presentations

Since 2014, each year’s JTTP 1st prize winner is presented in the annual Akousma festival, an annual festival of digital immersive music produced in Montréal since 2005.

The composers of the top 5 placing works are invited to present their works in a prestigious international context that “roams” each year to a different country. JTTP 2014 winners travelled to Seia, Portugal, to present their work in the 21st Dias de Música Electroacústica (DME) and JTTP 2015 winners participated in the KONTAKTE festival in Berlin, Germany.

Akousma XII — “Pulsed Frequencies” — This year’s festival des musiques numériques immersives (28–31 October) featured 1st prize winner Xavier Madore, as well as a few previous JTTP winners: Fernando Alexis Franco Murillo (2014), Martin Bédard (2003, 2005) and Nicolas Bernier (2003, 2004).

KONTAKTE — Festival for Electronic Music and Sound Art — The CEC collaborated with the Studio for Electroacoustic Music in the Akademie der Künste (AdK) in Berlin, Germany, on the presentation of a concert featuring the winning JTTP 2015 works during the relaunched KONTAKTE festival (25–27 September 2015).

Further financial support is provided by each and every CEC Member, whose membership dues continue to contribute to the success of projects coordinated by the CEC.

The cash prizes awarded each year to the top three placing artists are possible thanks to the kind donations of the individuals mentioned above.
