Giga Hertz Prize for Electronic Music
Since 2007, the ZKM | Institute for Music and Acoustics and the Freiburg Experimental Studio of SWR have been awarding the Giga-Hertz Prize for electronic and acousmatic music. The next call for entries is now open.
With prize money totaling 94,000 euros, the prize is one of the most highly endowed in this genre. For the first time, in addition to the prizes for electronic and acousmatic music, prizes will also be awarded in the category "Sound Art - Sound as a Medium of Visual Art".
In addition to a lifetime achievement award worth 15,000 euros, up to four production prizes of 8,000 euros each will be awarded.
The prize is awarded to "works that break up the temporal limitations and linear structure of music and supplement the purely sonic elements with visual and spatial elements, for example in the form of a sound installation, a sound sculpture or similar".
