There are no rules - except:
1. Create your own world of sounds!
2. Create your own world of music!
3. Create your own "audiosphere" in relation to the visual world of the film AND
considering the briefing by Fabian Driehorst! - the jury will turn her attention to the
originality of the technical, aesthetic and dramaturgical quality of the contribution in
relation to the briefing by Fabian Driehorst.
4. No compilation or usage of archived music is allowed! Of course the usage of SFX and
sample libraries is allowed!
5. In an ideal world composer and sound designer work together - musical composition
and sound design will be judged as two creative arts that complement one another in a
significant and distinctive way. Of course musical elements and those of sound design can
take over the function of each other. Sounddesigner and composer automatically will join
the competition in the disciplines "Sounddesign" and "Filmscore".
6. That does not mean that you can not work on your own and participate in both
disciplines. It is possible to subscribe only for one discipline (Sounddesign OR Filmscore)
if you decide only that the use of only one of the both arts will be enough to create the
best SoundTrack for the film.
7. Even if the Prize will be a recording session with a symphonic Orchestra that does not
mean that the Jury will prefer orchestral works! Find the sounds and music that show your
creativity, give the jury an impression of your special musical character. Convince them by
being a distinctive composer!
