    The University of Florida is located in North Central Florida in the city of Gainesville, Florida. Gainesville is served by Delta Airlines (via America Southeast Airlines), USAir Express, and Continental. The city is an approximate 2.5 hour drive by car from Jacksonville, Tallahassee, Orlando, and Tampa, Florida. Airport shuttle service will be provided by the festival hotel for transportation from/to the Gainesville Regional Airport but not to other area airports. This year's festival occurs two weeks after the SEAMUS conference at San Jose State University; the Society of Composers, Inc. meeting in New York City takes place two weeks after our festival. It is hoped that this will encourage international submissions. Anticipated notification of selection will be made by November 1, 1998.
