Art. 2.
Anyone who lives in Belgium is free to participate.
Art. 3.
Each contestant must write a composition of not more than 10 bars of 4, lasting no longer than 30 seconds in total. The tune has to be sent in on a sound recording medium or on audio file (MP3). Received documents will not be returned and remain property of the organisers.
Art. 4.
You can find some original recordings of Ghent's carillon on bimbam.be by way of inspiration or as building material for your own composition. In participating, you acknowledge the carillon's technical restrictions.

A jury consisting of musical pioneers will decide upon a winner as soon as possible after the closing date of the competition.

If technically possible, the winning tune will also be available as a ringtone for cell phones.
