Our analysis · not an official scoring rubric
Fit and effort
A fit for a finished track or sound project with an explainable composition, recording and synthesis process. A prompt alone is not a finished submission.
Our suggestion: track composition, lyrics, performance/synthesis, samples and mastering separately, with tool and rights evidence. Listen to the complete export and test the review link.
Turn the rules into preparation steps
- Match the completed work to a field and category.
- Collect the track, production roles and source/voice permissions.
- Read the full rules linked on the submission page and confirm eligibility, format and fee.
Research limits and official sources
Category-specific eligibility also applies. Autonomous / Generative Work awards go to the generative-music company, not automatically the person who entered a prompt. Confirm accepted hosting platforms in the current form.
