Area 10 is excited to announce its 2025 Bell Tree Composition Contest, focused on increasing compositions which will bring bell trees from the periphery into the mainstream of the handbell world.
The goal of the music is to have the bell tree and the handbell choir part interrelated, woven together musically.
The winning composition will be published by Jeffers Handbell Supply, Inc. and will be performed at Coppers Classic 2026 and at the Area 10 2026 Triennial Conference.
