By working with strong partners such as the "Vorarlberg brand", the "New on Sonntag" and for the first time "Illwerke VKW", the price is also upgraded.

Markus Klement, State Director of ORF Vorarlberg, emphasizes the creative energy of the Vorarlberg music scene and invites all creative minds to become part of this exciting competition. The organizers agree: "Sound@V" is more than a price - it is a shop window for the musical talent of the region.
