SensoriaPro is a unique, informal gathering of composers, filmmakers, music publishers, music supervisors, games developers and festivals all under one roof to discuss the latest innovations in music and the moving image. Here are some of the panel sessions – more to be announced.
We’re pleased to welcome Ivor Novello and RTS-nominated composer duo Aaron May and David Ridley (A&D). Aaron & David’s television work includes Adolescence (2025) and Boiling Point ( 2023). Joining the session will be TV, film and games composer Adiescar Chase (Heartstopper) to discuss writing for TV drama.
Hosted by Chi Chi Nwakodo (Major Tom Music).

Presented in association with PRS for Music
Scoring Contest – Sirāt
Ready to put your music to picture? Our ever-popular Scoring Contest returns, challenging composers to create an original score for the gripping trailer of Sirāt, courtesy of MUBI.
Directed by Óliver Laxe and co-written with Santiago Fillol, Sirāt is a tense, atmospheric road movie following a father (Sergi López) searching for his missing daughter across the deserts of southern Morocco, alongside his son and a group of ravers.
A panel of industry experts will shortlist the entries, discuss them live with the composers at the event, and then both the panel and audience will vote for the worthy winners.
Guest judges include Siân Rogers (Siren), Emmy-winning composer Nainita Desai and Ian Neil (Music Supervisor and Film producer).
Assets and brief sent to delegates upon registration.
This year we have 2 Scoring Contest Categories – Winner and Student Prize.
Plus there will be a host of ROUNDTABLE TALKS and ONE-TO-ONE advice sessions with industry experts.
