"Scrivere in Jazz" is a biannual competition for composition and orchestral arrangement, divided into various sections, devised and held for Sassari Town Council by the Associazione Blue Note Orchestra and headed by the Orchestra Jazz della Sardegna. It gives composers, of whatever artistic background or geographical origin, the opportunity to try out their talents by composing pieces and arrangements for a eighteen-piece orchestra.

A committee of prominent Italian and international jazz musicians will select a group of compositions to be performed by the Orchestra Jazz della Sardegna during the first evenings of the finals which will take place in Sassari.

During the third evening of the finals, a new jury consisting of the members of the selection committee, joined by other prestigious musicians and experts, will announce the winning composers, one for each section of the Competition, each of whom will be awarded a prize. An attendance fee will be paid to all composers who reach the finals.
