Are you ready to explore the world of sound?
The Institute of Acoustics (IOA) is inviting young people to dive into the fascinating world
of acoustics – the science of sound – and show the world why sound matters in daily life.
In 2025, we’re seeking fresh, creative presentations that inspire and educate others on
the importance of sound.
Make a short, engaging video (1 to 5 minutes) showing why sound is so important in our
everyday lives and how it impacts people in meaningful ways.
You can submit as part of an educational body (school, college, University) or directly.
Your video presentation can include audio recordings, graphics, drawings, text, video
clips, or even some AI-generated content. Please do not send us original documents
(only digital submissions will be accepted).
The best submissions will help the IOA educate the wider public and become part of
our promotional materials.
Note that submissions that use excessive AI content may be disqualified, as we are
seeking fresh, original perspectives.
