First.- Call and object of the competition.
The Professional Conservatory of Music of Zaragoza (CPMZ), dependent on the Department of Education, Culture and Sport of the Government of Aragon, announces a competition of ideas for the creation of its logo, on the occasion of the commemoration of its 25th anniversary. The aim of this competition is to select a proposed logo to represent the CPMZ after the commemoration and, with some allusive element, also during the commemoration. It will be the identifier of all activities associated with the CPMZ.
Participants in the competition must accompany their logo proposal with its development in the form of a basic corporate image document.
The idea to be conveyed by the creation of the logo will be: the CPMZ.
The centre is located in the historic centre of the city. It teaches the official Elementary and Professional Music Education. It belongs to the Government of Aragon, Department of Education, Culture and Sport, area of Special Regime education, area of Artistic Education. The Centre's teaching is taught in several buildings, due to the lack of space in the main building, so the building itself should not be used as a visual reference.
Students who complete these studies, at the end of the second stage, are qualified both to enter Higher Education and to develop professionally in different musical fields, such as teaching or performance, as soloists or as part of different choral, chamber or orchestral ensembles.
The educational offer of this Centre is very broad, as it has twenty-five instrumental specialities. It covers the eminently polyphonic or soloist instruments (accordion, singing, harpsichord, guitar, organ and piano) and all the instruments that make up the symphony orchestra and the band. It also includes Early Music specialities such as the Piccolo, Renaissance and Baroque Plucked String Instruments and Viola da Gamba. This makes it a centre of reference within the Community of Aragon. The teaching staff is made up of nearly eighty professionals, all of them with extensive artistic and teaching experience.
Group musical practice takes place through chamber ensembles and larger ensembles such as choirs, orchestras and bands. There is also a wide variety of ensembles based around instruments such as flutes, clarinets, saxophones, tubas, harps, percussion, early music and plectrum instruments. Some of these ensembles are the result of collaboration with other Conservatories in Aragon. They perform a repertoire that covers a wide variety of musical styles, incorporating trends such as jazz or the great soundtracks from the history of cinema.
As a complement to the teaching practice, the students carry out multiple activities: auditions and concerts inside and outside the Conservatoire, both in the city and outside it, and in collaboration, when the occasion requires it, with other institutions; specialisation courses and master classes, competitions; exchanges with other centres; study trips around Spain and Europe... Around three hundred public activities are carried out each year. Most of these are regularly announced on this website.
Next year 2019 we will celebrate the 25th anniversary of the creation of the CPMZ. Each logo proposal must contain a representative symbol accompanied by the text "CONSERVATORIO PROFESIONAL DE MÚSICA DE ZARAGOZA. 25th ANNIVERSARY". The 25th anniversary may be removed or used depending on the need and the moment of use of the logotype.
