Music Contests

The Music Contest is an event that aims to increase the visibility of all artists towards Agencies, Video makers and Productions in search of new music and new themes aligned with current trends.
Our staff will launch a Contest every one or two months by publishing two or three themes to be used for the production of new music.

All the songs collected during the contest will be published in a Compilation and sent to productions, agencies and video makers.
The event is reserved for musicians with an active contract. If you don’t have your own artist account yet, Find out here how to activate it.

Is it a competition?

Absolutely not!… Everyone is free to choose whether or not to participate, also based on personal commitments.
The only goal is to create opportunities to propose new music for videos and commercials.

Who can join?

Each contest will have at least two themes, to give the possibility to choose the mood that best suits your style.

How do contests work?

All music contests will follow a well-defined process:

    1. The launch
      You will receive an email with the themes of the contest, with some notes and references to get some more ideas.
    2. The revision
      Each new piece of music uploaded will be listened to by our staff for a technical check and consistency with the proposed themes.
      After listening, we will send you our feedback so that you can apply the changes, if required, and continue to create the master.
    3. The final version and the upload
      Send all required Master files via WeTransfer to the email contest@bricksbymilk.com.
    4. The promo to the operators
      We will collect all the compositions in an album that will be sent to all the operators and advertising agencies we work with.

Is there a deadline for submitting files?

oh yes .. in order to manage the selection of songs, their loading and publication we must be able to have the masters in time for promotion through our channels.
In each Contest, the dates by which to send the files in order to access the subsequent phases will be clearly indicated.
