The 12th Annual Music+Sound Awards - Now Open for Global Entries

The Music+Sound Awards are pleased to announce that they are now accepting entries for their annual competition, which celebrates creative excellence in advertising music and sound, presenting awards for best original composition, sound design, sync, re-records and use of production music.

The Music+Sound Awards invite agencies and production companies, as well as composers, sound designers, music supervisors and sync teams to submit their work. In brief, anyone who has worked, in any capacity, on a project they feel has been significantly enhanced by the music or sound.

Entries will be judged by a panel of distinguished music industry professionals, including: Jules Chalkley, chief executive creative director at Ogilvy, London; Marisa Wasser, senior music supervisor at Deutsch, New York; Yuta Endo, creative director at Antfood, New York; Jeff Dittenber, director of sound design at Yessian, Detroit; and Rachel Tauwnaar, music director at Ambassadors, Berlin.

"Music and sound are essential elements of the creative process in production, creating that emotional connection with the audience and bringing stories to life. We’re thrilled to be opening for entries once again to celebrate the talent and hard work that goes into making this possible." said Emma Maguire, founder of The Music+Sound Awards.

“Our stellar jury this year, with the competition’s foundations of integrity and transparency, will ensure that, once again, the best of the best are revealed and celebrated. We would like to thank our ever-growing community from around the world for all their support and encouragement and to wish everyone who enters the very best of luck.”
