Now nearing its 26th edition, the World Soundtrack Awards in Ghent have made the Belgian city film scoring’s home base. That story began in the 1980s, when Film Fest Ghent adopted screen music as its calling card, a focus that led to the World Soundtrack Academy and Awards at the turn of the millennium. The World Soundtrack Awards has since become a major showcase and industry hub, running largely in parallel with its parent festival.

Until now.
