Vote for the first WSA Game Music Award!
For the first time in its existence, the WSA puts music written for games and other interactive media in the spotlight. Presenting a Game Music Award to the best score of the past year, the festival gives game music the attention it deserves. The best part? You get to decide who wins the first-ever WSA Game Music Award. Voting is possible from now until 21 August 2023, 23:59 (W. Europe Standard Time). Mid-September, the five nominated scores will be announced. The nominees will be invited to join us during the concert PRESS PLAY: Music in Games, where the winner will be announced.
