We had some ridiculous prompts and absolutely incredible submissions. Listen to the a recap from the top submissions of the semifinal!:
After the semifinals only 3 teams (Lo-Mid Meta, The Trim Reapers and Teamname_Final16.wav) were left standing to face off against each other, their prompt was “around the world”:
The entries were phenomenal and after a hard decision Team B and Team C were put to a community vote and it ended up in a draw.
To say it was tense was an understatement, a second vote had to be held and it went back and forth until the last second when Team B – who was Teamname_Final16.wav – won it all.
If you want to hear the entries of each of the finalist teams that carried them to the final then listen to the video below:
A huge congrats to Teamname_16.wav (Cai Jones, Becky Street, Luke Evans) for beating 53 other sound design teams and winning the Sound Design Tournament!
