The procedure is as follows:
SOUNZ publicises a Call for Submissions and convenes a selection panel. From the submitted scores, the panel selects up to 80 minutes of works to be performed by the NZSO and recorded by Radio New Zealand Concert during the following year. SOUNZ acknowledges the generous support of Radio New Zealand Concert and the NZSO for this project.

A Call for Scores for the 2012 NZSO-SOUNZ-RNZC Recordings is now closed. The Call for Scores for the 2013 SOUNZ-NZSO-RNZC Recordings is scheduled for July 2012.
