We are excited to announce the finalists for the O Blissful Loss of Self  Call for Scores by Women.

The process of choosing finalists was very, VERY, difficult because so many interesting and beautiful pieces were submitted. We have narrowed down the selections to the finalists below. They are listed in no particular order. We plan to announce the top compositions by the end of September. Congratulations, finalists!
