We happily announce our recent partnership with the SAE Institute. The SAE Institute is an international talent factory for professions in the media and creative industries. Its network spans more than 20 countries on six continents with more than 50 institutes.

“The International Sound Awards are more than just an award. It shows that sound is innovative and that innovation needs sound – that’s exactly what we teach our students! To be innovative, to think outside the box and that lifelong learning is no longer just a phrase. So this award fits perfectly with our learning and teaching culture.”
Lukas Middelmann, Event & Networking Officer, SAE Institute

After a break in 2021, we are incredibly excited to announce that the International Sound Awards will enter a new round this year. Again the “Oscars of Sound” will be awarded to the world’s best works in Music, Audio & Tech.

Due to the continued pandemic-related uncertainty, we will not be holding a live event in September. The announcement of the winners will take place without an award show and purely online.
