On the sound-pure website. com provides information about the International Pure Sound Award. This is a unique event, which for the first time in history awards an award for the best audio recording of works of Russian academic music. The project is initiated by the Russian Musical Union with the support of the Presidential Fund for Cultural Initiatives.
The purpose of the initiative is not just to reward the best, but to preserve the masterpieces of Russian music in their live interpretation. The project is aimed at developing the composing school and the recording industry within the country, as well as promoting Russian culture abroad. The ceremonies have already been held twice: in 2019 and 2021, and in 2025 the award will be presented for the third time.
The project covers a wide range of participants and genres, but with clear selection criteria. Authors of works, performers, sound engineers, producers and copyright holders can participate in the competition. Applicants can be both individuals and legal organizations from anywhere in the world.
Key requirements for materials:
Particular attention is paid to quality. The jury evaluates the technical side of the recording, the artistic level of performance and the completeness of the release. In the Archive Audio Recording category, two files are required: the source and the result of restoration.
The resource is structured as an information center for the award. Here you can find the competition regulations, jury composition, news and photo galleries of past years. Participants are provided with clear instructions for submitting applications - they are accepted from September 1, 2024 to January 12, 2025.
An interesting detail: to participate you do not need to upload files directly to the server. The applicant provides an active link to the hosting resource (for example, cloud storage), where the file is available for downloading without a password or captcha. However, peer-to-peer networks or YouTube cannot be used as a source. Access to the files must be provided until at least June 30, 2025.
The site also contains an archive of winners of previous ceremonies, which include leading Russian and European labels, as well as famous bands and soloists.
There is a Contacts section in the site navigation, but there are no specific addresses, phone numbers or email addresses in the provided text. It is recommended to use the appropriate form or menu section for communication.
Participants can include authors, performers, sound engineers, publishers and record companies. It doesn’t matter whether it is an individual or an organization - the main thing is to have exclusive rights to the audio recording.
No. Only releases released since January 1, 2021 are eligible for the competition. Reissues of recordings released before this date will not be accepted unless they are a new edition by the composer or performer.
The format is strictly limited: WAV or AIFF. Allowed frequencies are 44.1; 48.0; 88.2 or 96.0 kHz at 16 or 24 bits. The recording must be in stereo.
You must provide an active link to download the file on the Internet. The file should be available without a password or captcha until the end of June 2025. Use of YouTube or torrent networks is prohibited.
There are no restrictions. One applicant can submit any number of works for consideration.
