Head Judges are EMMA Finland Head Judges Jami Skou and Antero Kölli. For judging the sound all sound judges will use a disc containing songs chosen by Jami and Antero. Using EMMA official judging rules is unfortunately not possible as Estonia is not an EMMA member.
If the competitors want to judge the sound in each others cars (in the same competition class) as well and have a small side competition between themselves then the organizers may organize this competition - it’s results wont be taken into account in the main competition, 3 best competitors will receive a trophy and a diploma. Competitors can use their own selected songs to do the judging.


Prizes

3 best competitors in every competition class will receive a trophy and prizes, every competitor will receive a diploma. The list of prizes got an addition - two 5 liter cans of quality 5W40 Total engine oil.


Information for spectators

The event is free for public. The event will take place outside regardless of the weather. During the whole day the organizer will play music outside (mainly house).
All the people who don’t want to compete but are interested in developing their own car sound system or want to ask caraudio related questions can do it freely during the whole day, the judges and competitors are there to help. All the competition cars are there if somebody wants to take a listen, just ask freely (during official judging it’s not possible to listen to them).


SPL competition

Traditional SPL competition can’t be organized this time unfortunately as there are appartment houses nearby and we don’t want to disturb the people living there. However there is an idea to organize so called ’Every man SPL measuring event’ that means that everyone can come and measure the SPL level in their car indoors for free during the whole day. The competition part is still there as people with 3 highest SPL results will receive trophies. There will probably be only one competition class and only technical limit is an amperage limit for the main fuse.
Whether the SPL event will take place and in what format will be clear on July 10th the latest.


Main sponsor of the competition is Audiocity (www.audiocity.eu).
Organizers of the competition are Artsound (www.facebook.com/pages/Artsound/721221597891025) and Caraudio.ee.

2 competitors have registered for Audiocity competition as of July 9th, 1 from Lithuania and 1 from Estonia.
