Guild of Carillonneurs in North America AI policy for grant applications

Can applicants use AI on an application to Guild of Carillonneurs in North America?

It depends on the program.

The pages give AI rules only for two named music contests, not for the GCNA as a whole. The Franco Carillon Composition Contest bars works made wholly or largely by AI and requires an AI declaration with the entry. The Franco Carillon Composition Proposal Contest requires the winner to declare AI use when the completed score is submitted. The pages give no guidance for reviewers or jurors, and none for the GCNA grants.

Depends on the program. The funder sets the rule in each program's guidelines, so check the program a PI is applying to.
