Four composers have honored us by submitting their compositions to be judged. The competition was administered by our trustee, Mr. Sean Ferguson, who is Assistant Librarian, Metadata/Technical Services, Editor-in-Chief, Répertoire International d’Iconographie Musicale (RIdIM) database at the The Ohio State University Music/Dance Library. He is also the President of the Columbus Guitar Society and a fine guitarist in his own right.
The judges were:
Bob Ashley,
Matanya Ophee,
Joanne Castellani,
Michael Andriaccio,
Arved Ashby,
Stanley Yates.
The competition was organized in such a manner that none of the judges had any idea who were the composers whose work we judged. Absolute and complete anonymity was assured at every step of the way. The composers who submitted their work were (in alphabetical order):
Carlos Barrientos
John R. Hedger
Cristiano Porqueddu
Thomas Schuttenhelm
The ranking of the judges, almost unanimous, resulted in this:
First place – Cristiano Porqueddu
Second place – Thomas Schuttenhelm
Third place – John R. Hedger
Fourth place – Carlos Barrientos.
