WSAcademy Members
The World Soundtrack Academy is an international community of composers for screen and film music industry professionals. The WSAcademy consists of regular voting members, honorary members, the Advisory Board and the Executive Board.
WSA Talent
The World Soundtrack Academy wants to actively support young composers for screen in their creative journeys to becoming seasoned professionals. Through different programmes and initiatives, new talent is allowed to grow in the art of film music.
Composition contest
Young composers are the future of the film music industry, but rarely get the chance to showcase their talent to a (non-) professional (live) audience. Therefore, the World Soundtrack Academy each year offers screen composers under the age of 36 the chance to participate in the WSA Film Music Composition Contest and win the Award for Best Original Composition by a Young Composer Powered by Vienna Synchron Stage at the World Soundtrack Awards Ceremony & Concert.
