We have now inspired organisations, magazines and other awards programmes to raise their game and take composers, supervisors, sync teams and sound designers seriously by recognising their achievements. While it’s not mission complete for us – there are definite signs that our awards have had an impact. That’s only possible with the help and input of our board, sponsors, jury and the fantastic work that we see year in year out from the entrants.
