Afterwards, the three participants of this year's competition — Titas Petrikis (Lithuania), Ilja Coric (Germany) and Costas Fotopoulos (England) — where called on stage and the public could see (and hear) for the first time the music they composed for the three different short films (an extract of an animation film, a short documentary and a three-minute-sequence from Finding Neverland), a rare opportunity to see how three young composers have such different approaches to the same scenes.

I've had the opportunity to visit Talents during their works and to talk to them about the score competition. Even if there is a final prize (the winner of this competition will be invited by Dolby on a trip to Los Angeles to visit one of the best sound studios in the world), all of them consider themselves winners just to be able to work with Jan Kaczmarek as a mentor and to have the German Film Orchestra Babelsberg performing the music they wrote.
