Competition Rules

Please read carefully before submitting your track.

📅 October Competition Onwards

From the October competition onwards, each artist may submit up to three entries. Submissions close on the 25th of the month. Entries received after this date will be considered for the following month.

1. Eligibility and Entries

  • The competition is open to independent AI music producers worldwide.
  • Participants must be at least 18 years of age.
  • From the October competition onwards, each artist may submit up to three tracks.
  • Artists may select a category for each entry.

2. Submission Requirements

  • AI-Generated Content Only: Tracks must be created using AI platforms such as Suno or Udio.
  • Link Format: We only accept direct, publicly playable links from AI music platforms. YouTube, Spotify and SoundCloud links are not accepted.
  • Originality: You must have full rights to the lyrics, track and prompts used to generate the track.
  • Previously Released or Copyrighted Tracks: If a track has already been released and is copyrighted, we will not be able to share or promote it, and it cannot be considered for the competition.
  • Human-Written Lyrics: Tracks must be written by a human. This requirement does not apply to instrumental tracks.
  • Lyrics and Instrumentals: Lyrics are not required to win. Instrumentals are judged equally alongside vocal tracks.
  • Content: Submissions must not contain hate speech or promote or incite violence or hatred. Explicit language and raw themes may be considered as artistic expression where they do not breach these restrictions.

3. Judging and Champion Categories

  • Artists may select a category when submitting each track.
  • There are now 6 judging categories. Our team will select one winner and one runner-up for each category.
  • We may introduce a monetary prize for each category as the community and competition grows.
  • Every submitted track is automatically entered into the Our Pick general champion selection.
  • The People’s Champion (£50) is the Marketing & Audience Award. This award measures a creator’s ability to mobilise fans, promote their track, and generate community support.
  • Our Pick (£50) ignores vote counts, follower numbers, and shop purchases entirely. An artist with 0 followers and $0 budget has the exact same chance of winning “Our Pick” as anyone else, based purely on the quality, originality, and production of their track.
  • Fans will be able to vote on our Ko-Fi page after the 25th of the month, once entries close.
