Each year, the Online Jury reviews the submissions for the Sound Walk September (SWS) and Marŝarto Awards, and collectively builds the shortlist. Then, the Grand Jury for the SWS Awards and the Grand Jury for the Marŝarto Awards take 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.
