Collaborative Music Contest is calling for music that demonstrates the spirit and potential of online music collaboration.

About a year ago, the School Of Music Collaboration initiated a contest where the Audiotool community could demonstrate their talents. Of the 14 nominees, four teams consisted of users of our beloved platform. With Icebox, Siren and dcln in the race, Audiotool also provided the competition's winner. The team around Dr Martin K. Koszolko is now calling for a second round. Do we want to miss out on that? Let's show the world who has the best collaborators.

Here is some information from the organizer:

Theme: Old meets new

Contest rules, please read:

All submitted tracks must be created during an online collaboration between at least two musicians and respond to this year's contest theme of "new meets old". Musicians can present it via music or lyrics and are encouraged to interpret it in various creative ways.

Musicians must submit tracks into one of the contest categories: Online Studio Collaboration or Online Live Jamming:

+ Online Studio Collaboration is a process where some or all elements of communication, recording, editing and mixing use online tools. These tools can include dedicated online music collaboration platforms as well as online exchanges of audio or MIDI files. This collaborative process can be either synchronous (real-time) or asynchronous (non-real-time).

+ Online Live Jamming is a process where collaborating musicians play live over the Internet using software that enables online live jamming. This process is synchronous (real-time or near real-time). Musicians can submit recordings of sessions that include live online jamming in this contest category.

Contest organizers do not matchmake artists as this contest is for creative teams formed externally and using remote music collaboration technologies of their choice.

Each musical act/group can enter only one track in each contest category, but they can enter different ones in separate contest categories.

The maximum track length is 5,5 minutes.

It is free to enter the contest, and artists retain all ownership of the music they submit.

All submitted tracks must be original, and no covers are allowed. All musical genres are permitted.

Judges will assess the alignment with the chosen contest category (Online Studio Collaboration or Online Live Jamming) and the response to the contest theme of "new meets old". Other assessment criteria will include the scope of online collaboration and the songwriting and music production qualities.

It is critical to explain the collaborative process in detail and credit all collaborators and their roles in the creative process.

To submit the track, you need to complete the submission form available via the link above and upload the MP3 or AAC file via the form. We reserve the right to only assess the submissions with correct file formats and aligned with one of the contest categories (Online Studio Collaboration or Online Live Jamming).

The accepted file formats are MP3 and AAC at 320kbps.

All submissions must be in by midnight (AEST, Sydney time) on November 20, 2022.

The School of Online Collaboration will announce the winners during a video streamed on YouTube on December 2022 and will contact them by email afterwards.

Editor's Note: This is not an Audiotool contest. If you have questions which could not be answered by reading the rules, please ask the School of Online Collaboration.
