Finally, here are the Top 3 entries, chosen and commented by the judge Jake Jackson:
1st place (custom made pair of A77X): “Thunder” by “The Latest Son”
Jake Jackson: “I chose ‘Thunder’ as my winning track as I liked that so much was squeezed into 30 seconds, the opening melody, then a second section different but engaging and powerful. And excellent use of the thunder as part of the music, really. Congratulations on an excellent job.”

Jake Jackson on the Soundtrack Competition:
“I was really thrilled with the diversity and originality of the entrants. Very exciting for me to hear such depth of imaginations. […]
In choosing the winners, I wanted a good telling of the story in the picture. I still can’t decide on my personal story, but the winning entries gave me that story and more. Not only that, I wanted a good melodic idea, an interesting orchestration and a good […] stereo mix, but also one that was interesting to listen to, and helped tell that story. […] It was about how the story was told through my ears!”
