Where can I submit my AI track?

LAST VERIFIED 15 Jul 2026

Right now — contests, open calls, showcases and hackathons tracked on our deadlines page, each verified against official sources with its AI rules stated. The recurring flagship is the AI Song Contest; beyond contests, distributor releases, sync libraries and community showcases each have their own AI policies.

The map of destinations

Contests and open calls — the fastest route from folder to stage. What's open right now, with deadlines, entry fees, eligibility and AI rules, lives on the deadlines page of this site; each record links the official rules. Music-submission calls, artist open calls and showcase applications are separate types — filter by what fits.

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.

The honest note

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.
