The “Cry of the Earth Call for Scores” encourages composers to submit new choral works inspired by Pope Francis’s Laudato si encyclical. Composers are encouraged to broadly interpret the document through an interfaith and humanistic lens, while retaining the spiritual ethos of Pope Francis’s plea.

Submissions should be sent to ecovoiceproject@gmail.com with “Cry of the Earth” as the subject. Upon receipt of your email, you will receive a confirmation email acknowledging your submission. All scores are due by 5:00 PM (CST) on Friday, August 1st, 2025, and winners will be announced on September 1st, 2025.
