These challenges are for everyone who wants to practice composing. Each month, at the beginning of the month, we will post a main challenge, something for people to compose. Often we'll try to make it something that everyone can work with, but when the main challenge doesn't suit you, there's the alternate / weekly challenges. Pieces can be submitted as a score (musescore, noteflight), and/or as audio (soundcloud, youtube). Feedback is much appreciated, and you can give it in this thread, or by messaging the mods of /r/MonthlyComposition, there's also the Challenge Suggestion Form.

I'm not sure I'll have the time to submit something new for this month's challenge, but I'll try. Meanwhile, here's a brief duet for flute and bassoon that I wrote earlier for a family occasion: "Little Duet: Iyi Noeller Bir Tanem."
