The Walter Hussey Composition Competition is a choral music composition competition that was launched in January 2018.
The competition was run initially in 2018 and then again in 2020. The second competition was impacted by the Covid pandemic; although the announcement and first performance of the winning piece was eventually able to take place in 2022.
The competition was therefore not run in 2022.
The competition is named in honour of Walter Hussey, Dean of Chichester Cathedral from 1955 to 1977, who commissioned many choral works throughout his lifetime.
