About the contest from the founders
“In 2019 we built STW from the ground up to provide a great competition for composers, focused on education and feedback, through which they can grow. On top of that, we imagined a community uniting composers for social/environmental issues.
In early 2020, we held our first event with 300 participants. 50% of all our profits went to Amazon Watch and we’ve put hundreds of hours into giving actionable feedback to all contestants to offer real value.
Here you can find the winner video of the previous contest:
For our next contest, we have chosen a part of an Oscar-winning movie for the task, and our contestants created amazing entries! We had over 400 applications, and in the end, we could donate 1850 euro to the Auschwitz-Birkenau Museum.
Can’t wait to see this years’ entries, we hope everyone will have fun with composing!”
