ALL PRIZES

2x €1,000 Main Prize


HOFA

The winner in each of the two categories "mix" and "remix" will receive €1,000 prize money. The main prize is donated by HOFA and awarded by the jury.

When judging the mix, the jury is looking for harmonious sound characteristics with balanced levels that fit in the genre, a well-defined spatial depth and a natural overall sound. For the remix – besides the creativity – the quality of sound, the sound design, the arrangement and balanced proportions are decisive.
