At the end of June 2025, the aspekteFESTIVAL Salzburg and PHACE, in cooperation with Ö1, issued a call for scores to the four music universities (Mozarteum University Salzburg, University of Music and Performing Arts Vienna, University of Music and Performing Arts Graz, and Anton Bruckner Private University). Professors from the respective composition classes could each nominate two students for participation.

In a clear and unanimous jury decision, four composers were selected from 16 submissions (2 female composers, 14 male composers) and commissioned to create a new work for the AspekteFESTIVAL.
