The ground rules.
A community competition built on permission, clear credits, and respect for independent creators.
Original music. Your ownership.
Entry is free. Producers and artists retain their ownership. Participation does not automatically transfer copyright, grant commercial distribution rights, create royalty obligations, or guarantee payment or prizes.
One curated beat library
Each person can submit up to 2 beats and 2 songs per season. Every submitted entry counts, including entries the host passes on. Extra uploads are saved privately under My music → Next-season drafts and are not competition entries. Confirm them yourself when a later season opens, accept the current terms, and for songs choose a beat approved for that later season. Existing entries are never silently moved.
Artist entries must use a beat approved for the same season. Multiple artists can use the same beat. Deadlines and per-user limits are enforced by the server. The host may grant documented deadline exceptions.
Permissions and eligibility
You must have permission for all samples, performances, featured artists and other material. A checkbox records your declaration; it does not establish that third-party rights are cleared. The host may reject or disqualify ineligible entries.
Livestream and playlist
Cleared music can be reviewed privately and played in the announced live Twitch show. Saved broadcasts, replay, clips, promotion, public finalist audio and an Untitled/top-five release require separate documented permission. Selection itself does not authorize a release.
Season-specific requirements
Submission agreements
Agreements are versioned. The exact text accepted with each submission is retained. Operator approval is recorded separately from legal review. Sandbox acknowledgments do not grant real competition rights; new uses require the appropriate current permissions.
