Award ceremony and performance of prize-winning works
SHUT UP AND LISTEN! AWARD 2011
Within the framework of this year’s festival, young and upcoming composers (born after 1980) were invited to
submit compositions that show a reference to the festival theme ‘Near West’, and belong to one of the
following categories: a) electroacoustic composition; b) composition for harp solo resp. for harp plus sound
projection. An international jury selected three works which are going to be presented during the festival. Each
awardee will receive € 200.-, as well as the SHUT UP AND LISTEN! TROPHY 2011. Unlike many similar
competitions, the entire selection process was anonymous, and no entrance fees were asked from participants.
All three selected works are from category A (electroacoustic composition).
