The competition Musica Nova is a competition for composers of electroacoustic music, a form of classical contemporary music, held in Prague.[1][2] The competition was first held in 1969 and now features two categories of entry, one for tape music and another for music including vocals and instrumentals.[3]

Recipients include Jean-Claude Risset ('95), Charles L. Bestor ('96), Emil Viklický ('96), Alessandro Cipriani ('96), Robert Normandeau ('98), and Marta Jiráčková ('98).
