Limited tracks will be selected. We suggest artists to get their ticket/demo priority ticket ASAP.
DEMO PRIORITYÂ TICKET holders will get the highest priority for their demo submission. This is highly recommended to get your track prioritized to be played and heard by key influencers and decision makers at the event.
If you are selected, you will get a chance to share your track with our panelists and get live feedback at our event. For Demo Priority ticket holders who attend the event but don’t get their track played at the event (due to too many submissions), you will still get email feedback a few weeks after the event. We encourage early submission for a higher chance of being selected. Demo Priority ticket holders who attend the event but submit after the due date will be put on the waitlist for live feedback. If we’re unable to play it at the event, e-mail feedback will be given a few weeks after the event.
Submit by 3/12/26 12pm PST for consideration.
