Giga-Hertz-Award 2008

Call for Application: The 2nd Giga-Hertz-Award for electronic music is
open for entries. Online Submission Deadline: April 19, 2008

In 2007, the ZKM | Institute for Music and Acoustics and the
SWR-EXPERIMENTALSTUDIO in Freiburg inaugurated the annual
Giga-Hertz-Award for electronic music. This new international music
award with its future-oriented concept exists thanks to the initiative
and commitment of ZKM director Peter Weibel. The award is funded by the
city of Karlsruhe and the Federal State of Baden-Wuerttemberg.
The Giga-Hertz-Award addresses composers working in the areas of
electronic and acousmatic music. Four Special Prizes are awarded once a
year by an international jury, and serve to initiate and support new
projects. Candidates are judged on the basis of a composition not more
than five years old and a proposal for a projected work.

The Special Prize consists of a project realization grant with which the
prizewinners realize their submitted proposal either at the ZKM |
Institute for Music and Acoustics in Karlsruhe or at the
SWR-EXPERIMENTALSTUDIO in Freiburg. This includes technical support and
guidance by the studio.
The four Special Prizes are endowed as follows:
2 x Euro 8,000 in form of a realization grant at the ZKM | Institute for
Music and Acoustics in Karlsruhe;
2 x Euro 8,000 in form of a realization grant at the
SWR-EXPERIMENTALSTUDIO in Freiburg.

Ludger Bruemmer
