The Board of Trustees issued the call for applications in autumn 2024 and published it in the bulletins of HTE and OPAKFI, on the internet, and on the notice boards of educational institutions. The competition was open to graduates — primarily engineers and physicists — submitting a summary of their independent work, articles published in field-specific journals, or a new paper as the submitted work. Applicants could hold other degrees as well, but their activity had to fall within the field of acoustics.
At its meeting on 2 April 2025, the Board of Trustees of the Foundation decided not to award a prize on the basis of the 2024 call for applications.
