Submissions are invited for the Sound Walk September Awards 2023 by Walk Listen Create. Submit your entries by September 30, 2023!

The Sound Walk September Awards celebrate the skills of those composing audio, listening, and sound walks. Winners get awarded with cash prizes of up to 1,000 euros (Rs. 89k+).

Deliberately left as open as possible to encourage creativity, any walking piece of any duration created during the previous 12 months, after the end of the previous year’s Sound Walk September, and submitted to the walk · listen · create website, is eligible.

Did you create a fantastic walking piece that’s not a soundwalk? Submit your work to the Marŝarto Awards.

Work can include a variety of formats, approaches, and subjects, from a wide range of creative disciplines, including arts, heritage and history, health and wellbeing, social practices, journalism, performance, literature and theatre, ecology, tourism, and more.

WLC was officially founded in 2021 as an NGO in Belgium, but we came together in 2019, around the implementation of the first Sound Walk September, itself a consequence of Sound Walk Sunday 2017.

Winners walk away with a cash prize of up to 1,000 euros (Rs. 89k+).

Walking art that makes it to the shortlist gets bragging rights. Winners and honourable mentions receive a physical award. In addition, winners receive a cash prize of 250 euros (Rs. 22k+), and honourable mentions receive a cash prize of 100 euros (Rs. 9k).

They facilitate a membership program, which operates like a crowdfunding campaign. When they reach certain thresholds in support, the cash prize for winners can grow to 1,000 euros (Rs. 89k+), with the cash prize for honourable mentions can grow to 400 euros (Rs. 35k+). Check out their membership program today.

From the body of submitted work, an Online Jury abstracts a short list of walking pieces, which is announced soon after the end of October. From this shortlist, the Grand Jury chooses the winners of the Marŝarto Awards, based on a collaboratively defined set of criteria.
