How to Enter
To enter the contest, simply upload your mp3 track, artist picture and relevant details in the upload form and you will automatically be added to the playlist for the month. Your track will move higher up the playlist for each vote you receive, so don’t forget to spread the word, share on your social media pages and get your fans involved.
Participate
At SongRise Network we believe that artists should constantly be looking to find new inspiration, network and communicate with other like-minded musicians. This is why we strongly encourage all applicants to check out the other tracks in the contest, vote, leave comments and persuade your fanbase to do the same. In this industry, a friendly word or bit of support to a fellow artist can lead to great collaborations and opportunities in the future, so please always make sure that you support others and embrace the community spirit.
Rules
The main rules of the monthly contest are as follows:
• Tracks must be mp3 format only
• Anyone under the age of 18 must get parental consent before entering the contest
• All tracks entered must be original work, written by the artist/band or affiliated songwriters. We will not accept any cover versions, no matter how interesting or cool they may be! Please visit our forum and share your cover songs there, as we’d love to see them.
• Only one entry per artist/band per month – Any additional artist/band entries will be deleted. Please do come back and enter another track the following month though. We’d love to hear all your work.
• Artists are welcome to enter the same track each month, providing the track has not already won a monthly contest – Any tracks entered that have already won the monthly contest will be deleted
• Please make sure that your entries are of the highest audio quality possible. We will accept lo-fi recordings, but they are less likely to gain the attention of voters
• Please be respectful to all other entries. Anyone from beginner to advanced is welcome to enter the contest, and any abusive or discouraging comments will be removed and may jeopardise the status of your own entry
That’s about it! We look forward to receiving your track and hope you and your fanbase enjoy your experience and come join our community.
Prizes
The artist that receives the most votes each month will be promoted across our site and social media pages, as well as being entered into our grand final at the end of the year. Voting for the grand final will take place in December and the winner will receive our SongRise Network trophy and £1,000 grand prize!
