International Year of Sound 2020-2021
The International Year of Sound is a global initiative to highlight the importance of sound and related sciences and technologies for all in society. The International Year of Sound will consist of coordinated activities on regional, national and international levels. These activities will aim to stimulate the understanding throughout the world of the important role that sound plays in all aspects of our society. As well, these activities will also encourage an understanding of the need for the control of noise in nature, in the built environment, and in the workplace.

To encourage Member Societies to continue the momentum to undertake innovative outreach activities, the ICA has established an annual award to recognize an outstanding outreach activity undertaken by a group, committee, or an individual member of a national Member Society or an International Affiliate during the previous year.
The award will be accompanied by an amount of € 1,000 and a certificate of achievement and will be presented in an appropriate ICA event.
In order that an application is eligible for receiving the award, it should be associated with an outreach activity which should be outside the usual membership base. The award will be based on the decision of a judging panel appointed by the ICA board and will be given for a period of 10 years starting 2024. In any one year the judging panel may decide to share the award across more than one application or decide not to award.
For details, go to the ICA announcement.
