2001 — Scholarship
AU-SYSTEM
During the Mossenmark Festival -96 the Mossenmark Sound Fund was established. The purpose of the fund is to support and stimulate research and artistic work, whose ambition is to reach a grown vigilance around our mutual sound environment. The fund hands out a scholarship every year.
Motivation:

This shows that any sound can be valuable depending on what importance it has to us. AU-System's initiative has thereby in an excellent way shown that sounds and silence are equally important.
