This is the second year that the winner and honourable mention for the Sound Walk September Awards walk away with cash. Compared to last year, we were able to double the prize money, to 500 euros for the winner, and 200 euros for the honourable mention. Who walks away with the prizes?

The winners of Marŝarto23 are Monique Besten and Alison Neighbour, both covering pertinent life questions which affect us all.

New jurors have joined, and submissions are open for SWS24. And, the public can now vote for shortlisted sound walks.
