Creative competition: Find the perfect sound for Murau-Murtal!

Regional management Murau Murtal has considered an exciting challenge and calls for a creative competition to find the acoustic trademark for the region. We are looking for a concise sound that is a maximum of 20 seconds and captures the special attitude to life in the region. This includes harmonious natural sounds, rousing beats and catchy melodies. Regardless of whether on the radio, on TV or on social media - the winning title is professionally produced and extensively presented. This initiative not only aims to acoustically represent the region, but also to promote young talents. Young people between the ages of 10 and 26 who want to bring their creativity are particularly addressed. As reports [meinzirk.at] (https://www.meinbezirk.at/murtal/c-lokales/regionalmanagement-murau-murtal- fuer-die-Region_a7429271), the submission phase runs from July 14th to September 30th. Works can be conveniently uploaded via the regional management website.

In order to make the competition even more exciting, the best five jingles for an online voting are selected after a technical review by the specialist jury. The possibilities for the young musicians: inside are diverse, because the winner is not only allowed to look forward to fame and honor, but also receives an attractive party box. Schools in the region were also informed to encourage students to participate. The competition follows a successful painting competition in the previous year, which has shown the creative potential of the residents:

Promotion of regional talents

Regional management Murau Murtal GmbH is the central point of contact for regional development in western Upper Styria and is committed to building innovative and sustainable structures. As [stronges-murau-murtal.at] (https://starkes-murau-murtal.at/regional development/regionalmanagement/), the focus is on promoting strong networks. The team works closely with various players: inside the population, economy and politics to develop new impulses and solutions. The regional strengths are strengthened and expanded with a clear vision.

The initiative is part of a larger trend in which regions are asked to actively participate in its development. With its concept for sustainable regional development, the State Secretariat for Economic Affairs (Seco) also pursues the goal of improving cooperation between regions. With regard to developments in Switzerland, it turns out that sustainability is a central topic. The [Regiosuisse] (https://regiosuisse.ch/News/neue- Regionalpolitik-konkete-ziele- und-measure-fuer-a-suture-regional development) reports that from 2024 concrete sustainability goals with measurable indicators are to be integrated in implementation programs. Aspects such as the climate, energy and social opportunities are focused on.

in Murau Murtal, this means not only commitment in the creative scene, but also the successful exchange of ideas in order to promote and develop the region sustainably. The creative competition is another step to actively integrate the young generation and ensure that the unique sound of the region will continue to be heard.
