The word “Oticons” combines two ancient Greek words: ota (ears) and ikon (image), symbolizing our focus on film music—a unique art form closely tied to cinema yet challenging to define.

We founded the Oticons Faculty International Film Music Competition to address pressing concerns in the industry: the dominance of repetitive music styles in film soundtracks, filmmakers lacking vision to collaborate with composers, and composers being forced into the role of content producers relying heavily on digital tools instead of artistic expression.

The world needs high-quality, timeless film music that stands out and enriches storytelling. Our competition seeks composers with unique vision and artistry, encouraging both established and emerging talents to prove that exceptional film music is still possible in today’s landscape.

Oticons Faculty is a wake-up call to inspire composers to reach new creative depths and uphold the highest artistic standards in film music.

We invite you to join us in shaping the future of film music.

Good luck!
The Oticons Faculty Founders & Team
