The Most Beautiful Sound in the World Competition is underway thanks to efforts from SoundCloud and BeautifulNow. Here’s what BeautifulNow representative, Rachel Whaley, had to say to ACB about the competition:

BeautifulNow, a new site focused on the most beautiful things happening in the world right now, is running a competition, in partnership with SoundCloud and The Sound Agency, to find THE MOST BEAUTIFUL SOUND IN THE WORLD RIGHT NOW. It’s really cool! And we thought that you and your community would be really interested because you seem to be all about beautiful sound.

The competition is open for entries until 12/16, so there’s still time to enter. Here’s a link to the competition so you can check it out: beautifulnow.is/sound.
