Practical answer
Where can I submit my AI track?

Which AI music submissions are open now?
Contests and open calls — the fastest route from folder to stage. What's open right now, with closing dates, entry fees, eligibility and AI rules, lives under Opportunities; each listing links the official rules. Music-submission calls, artist open calls and showcase applications are separate types — filter by what fits.
The AI Song Contest 2026 is a current example: its official site lists submissions as open and the award show for November 29 in Bangkok. That is a dated example, not a permanent promise — check Opportunities for the current window.
| Submission route | What to verify before entering |
|---|---|
| Contest or open call | Closing time, timezone, entry fee, eligibility and AI policy |
| Showcase | Performance format, selection process and public-credit requirements |
| Grant or residency | Applicant geography, project stage, budget and allowed AI use |
| Hackathon | Team rules, tool restrictions, deliverables and intellectual-property terms |
Hackathons and challenges — team registration rather than track submission, but the same identity payoff: your work performed, judged, on a program. Registration windows are tracked as deadlines here.
Distribution — releasing to DSPs through an aggregator is always available; the constraints are the tool's commercial terms and platform AI policies (see the monetization and royalties answers).
Sync and libraries — music libraries have been early AI-music buyers, with their own disclosure and rights requirements per library.
What should I check before submitting AI music?
Submitting is an identity moment — the point where "I made a thing" becomes "I am an artist presenting work." Pick opportunities whose rules you actually meet: the verified AI-rules field on each record exists so you don't discover a disqualifying clause after you've told everyone you entered.
