To celebrate the 150th anniversary of the Queensland’ Statehood (2009), we are compiling “150 Sounds of Queensland”, asking all Queenslanders to nominate a sound unique and important to your place and the community. The sound may be Category A: “Living Sound” (including endangered sounds) Category B: “Sound in memory” (sounds from the past)
The sounds should have social, cultural, historic or environmental meaning. You need to tell us why it should be saved for future generations and how you might do it. You can do this as a project with different focuses – history, culture, geography, environment, language, art. Nominations are open to all individuals and groups. Selected sounds will be professionally recorded and be included in the national sound archive. Re-imagine Queensland's natural and cultural diversity through sound. Nominate your sound to be one of the 150 Sounds of Queensland. Nominations close 5pm, Tuesday 30 June, 2009
