Enter the Music Innovation 2020 Contest

Captain Plugins is hosting the Music Innovation 2020 Contest.

To enter, you have to combine at least two music genres in one song. This contest is for artists and music producers who can combine two ideas into one track.

For example: Flamenco + Trap? Rap + Classical? In short, create your own genre. Be original. If your track makes it to the Top 5 of all submissions, you’ll win incredible prizes worth at least $3000. The grand prize winner takes home over $10,000 worth of music gear made by the best companies in the world. Judges will pick winners from the Top 20 finalists over two rounds.

Round 1: Yakov and the Mixed In Key team listen to all the submissions and pick the top 20 finalists.

Round 2: Our panel of judges pick their favorites among the top 20 finalists.

Deadline: October 22, 2020
