World Soundtrack Award – Public Choice
The Public Choice Award for the Best Score of the Year is an award by the World Soundtrack Academy. Each year, the general public votes for the nominees and the award is presented at the annual World Soundtrack Awards.[1] The category has existed since 2001, but there was not a winner nor a vote for 2003's ceremony.[2]
In 2016, the International Film Music Critics Association partnered with WSA in choosing the shortlist of nominees, selecting 30 scores representing the most outstanding works.[3] The five nominees receiving the most votes became the final candidates for the award, with the winner announced at the awards gala.[4]
