The arrangement of chosen compositions for today´s concert is philosophical and ontological. Composers compete in two categories: A – pure electro-acoustic and B - the combination of live performing and EA. The first evaluation criterium is the creativity level and the well-based engeering. The second argument has been that in this pure artistic music genre the top of creativity and technical know-how is concentrated. The competition is specialized in the artistic, exclusively music compositions because the multimedial genre has been more and more full-scale and difficult to compare.

The number of rated compositions settled on 100-130 compositions from ca 35 countries around the world. In 1993, we received 16 compositions, the following year it was about 50 and the third ca 100. In 1993, the competition has been renewed by the Society for EA music in Prague especially due to the initiative of composers Karel Odstrčil and Rudolf Růžička appreciated in the first year of the competition in 1969. The creating continues especially due to the young generation attracted to these new expressive possibilities. The restriction was related rather to the international contact and public presentation. In the period of so called „political normalization“ after 1969 /Soviet occupation in Czechoslovakia/ scant started competition was stopped because its international and minority’s character similar to the aspects of the New Music didn´t be ranked among the actual socialist culture priorities. It was one of the first in this genre of music which were forming in the broadcasting at the beginning of 50th especially in Paris, Koln am Rhein and Milan. The International competition of electro-acoustic music MUSICA NOVA has been established in 1969 in the two years old Pilsen radio studio.
