The competition closes on 1st November 2016, and a team of judges including Judith Weir (Master of the Queen's Music) and David Hill (Chief Conductor, 成人快手 Singers) will shortlist six settings, to be performed live by the 成人快手 Singers. Listeners will be asked to vote for the overall winner, and the winning carol will be recorded by the Singers and played on Radio 3 throughout Christmas Day.
