NPSIG Music Contest: This is our jury!

We want to present you to the wonderful jury that will choose which will be the winning performances of the NPSIG Music Contest, the results of which we will report shortly, and which we will present at our Music Session of the next WLIC2021

We are sure that this jury of professionals will have a lot of work to evaluate all the great performances, videos and audios that have been sent to us from all over the world, as we pointed out in our previous post.

But we have no doubt that they will do a fantastic job, since our jury is made up of professionals from libraries, music or both! Here is a short presentation below.

NPSIG Music Contest: Thank you for the music!

The deadline for the first librarian music contest finally closed. We are really happy for the dissemination and the response we had, and that is why in this post we want to share this joy with you.

For several months, colleagues from all over the world presented different musical proposals, some in audio, others in audio and video, all with translation into English. Beautiful compositions, adaptations and musical poems will participate in this contest that tries to show the world how wonderful libraries are!

The numbers are impressive: 70 performances from 17 different countries, and 5 participating continents.

In the next few days the judges will evaluate all the proposals and they will decide which are the winning performances. But now we want to thank everyone for their participation, and dedicate the following video to you:
