2022 Panel of Judges
	
	
		We asked a group of esteemed colleagues to chose three projects that they felt deserved special mention. Many told us that this was very difficult since there were so many great projects.If you visit the campus now, you'll see star "stickers" on many of the windows. These indicate awarded projects. A white star means that that project received three or more votes. Bright yellow is two votes and a duller yellow star is one vote.
The top projects are
→ Space Palette ☆☆☆☆☆☆
→ Pyera ☆☆☆☆
→ Hacking Nature's Musicians ☆☆☆☆
→ Tatami Band ☆☆☆
→ La Machine Sonore Infernale ☆☆☆
→ Resonance in Light ☆☆☆
→ Laikabot laikamaker ☆☆☆
→ RhythmScope ☆☆
→ Resin Records ☆☆
→ The Pencilina ☆☆
→ Marbles of Misfortune ☆☆
→ Musical Boxing Gloves ☆☆
→ Floral Buzz 1000 ☆☆
Plus more ☆ winners. Please visit the campus to see all of the selections.
