The winners in the third edition of ADAM Audio’s Soundtrack Competition have been selected by Dennis S. Sands from over 3,500 contestants who composed a short soundtrack to match this picture by Charlie Davoli.
“The response to this year’s soundtrack competition has been fantastic. It is great to see such a vivid worldwide community get creative in so many different musical ways. If you search #adamaudio and #soundtrack on Soundcloud or YouTube, you can literally find hours of well crafted soundtracks and the quality of the entries has never been higher.”, says Christian Hellinger, managing director of ADAM Audio.
And finally the waiting is over, here are the Top 3 entries, chosen and commented by Dennis S. Sands:
1st place (custom made pair of A8X): “The Wizard” by Fabien G.

3rd place (a pair of A3X): “My son, my challenge” by Sam Oz
“Haunting and beautifully orchestrated. Also very well connected to the image as you could feel the weight of the ‘challenge’ depicted in the man holding the heavy object. I could feel his challenge in the music!”

“Honestly the submissions were all excellent but these three (plus one) truly stood out to me. The rankings could easily be rearranged as they were all so different yet equally imaginative.”
