SWS Grand Jury

Each year, the Online Jury reviews the submissions for the Sound Walk September, and collectively builds the shortlist. Then, the Grand Jury takes a deep dive, to pick the winners and honourable mentions.

Prior to 2022, the SWS shortlist was put together by the founders of walk · listen · create, with the SWS Advisory Board selecting the winners and honourable mentions. In 2022, we introduced an Online Jury, while the Advisory Board was transformed into the SWS Grand Jury.

Grand Jury members have a maximum tenure of three years.

corpse road

Also known as corpse way, coffin route, coffin road, coffin path, churchway path, bier road, burial road, lyke-way or lych-way. “Now is the time of night, That the graves all gaping wide, Every one lets forth his sprite, In the church-way paths to glide” – Puck in Midsummer Night’s Dream. A path used in medieval times to take the dead from a remote parish to the ‘mother’ church for burial. Coffin rests or wayside crosses lined the route of many where the procession would stop for a while to sing a hymn or say a prayer. There was a strong belief that once a body was taken over a field or fell that route would forever be a public footpath which may explain why so many corpse roads survive today as public footpaths. They are known through the UK.
