The Annual Music+Sound Awards Now Open for 2022 Global Entries

For an eleventh year, The Music+Sound Awards will globally celebrate music and sound creative excellence in broadcast advertising, online advertising, branding and idents, presenting awards for best original composition, best sound design, best sync, best re-records and best use of production music.

The Awards were established to recognise the true importance of music and sound in bringing any production to life. The phenomenal talent behind this plus those who commission it are celebrated, showcased, and given a global platform each year.

Anyone who has worked, in any capacity, on a project they feel has been significantly enhanced by the music or sound is eligible to enter. Work must have been first broadcast between July 1st 2021 and June 30th 2022.

Submissions can be made, up until 29th June, via the awards’ site.

“I’m delighted to announce the opening of MASA 2022”, says awards director, Emma Maguire. “We’re very much looking forward to revealing and holding aloft the top creative forces behind all the incredible work we see throughout the year. We have another stellar panel of judges eagerly awaiting entries. We’re here to reward the unsung talents who create music and sound and wish everyone who enters the best of luck!”
