The Audiotool remix contest is undergoing a significant change starting today: instead of having seven rounds with separate deadlines, there will now be a single deadline on August 20th.
If you've already rushed to submit your entry, don't worry! Submitting early has its advantages:
Tracks will be selected by EWC regardless of the contest to be played during the games at the event and used in marketing around the games. This is a great chance for your music to be showcased.
Judges and partners will be reviewing submitted tracks continuously from today. If you've already submitted, you might receive feedback, and you'll have the opportunity to refine your entries until the final voting period starts on August 20th.

The Contest:
Choose one or more contest categories, create your EWC anthem remix, and submit it. Each game title participating in the Esport World Cup has its own category. You can submit one entry per game. Besides the grand prize of becoming a signature Spitfire artist, category winners will receive a one-year LABS+ by Spitfire Audio subscription and hardware and software prizes worth over $20,000.
You can participate by creating and publishing your remix in Audiotool or by downloading the stems to create your remix in any DAW, then uploading your stems into Audiotool and publishing from there as an open track for others to discover and remix.
The first categories open today with submission deadlines every two weeks, aligned with the finals of each game at EWC.
The Judges:
Your creations will be assessed by a panel of distinguished judges, including industry luminaries such as Flosstradamus, WLPWR, Oak Felder, and more. With their wealth of experience and expertise, rest assured that your exceptional tracks will be acknowledged and rewarded.
Calling all music and gaming enthusiasts! This is your moment to showcase your talent, unlock your creativity, and seize the opportunity to win amazing prizes, gain industry acclaim, and collaborate with industry giants. Stay tuned for updates and get ready to make some noise!
Hey I'm wondering if it's possible to publish our tracks to streaming services like Spotify through something like distrokid, and how we can get proper permissions to do that. Thanks!
probably not. I'm not reading through the TOS on the contest, but the samples were likely cleared for use in the contest. unless they are royalty free, then you'd be publishing a song without cleared samples.
I doubt it would be a huge deal, but that's a classic risk if your song were to blow up!
Hello, on the different games, the status of the contest is voting completed and that winners will be announced soon. I have submitted my work the day of the deadline. Will my track still be reviewed by the judges? (I don't expect feedback on my track but it would be great if I could have some!)
The winners will be announced during the week after the deadline. I don’t think the judges will find the time to give a feedback to all of the submissions.
Hi :) I produced the remix with a different DAW, if i upload the individual stems to Audiotool Studio do I have do publish from there or is it possible to upload my mastered track? Thank you!
On the contest pages there is a blue button on the right *SUBMIT A TRACK* Just click to get to an overview of your tracks and choose the one you like to submit. I thought I saw a submission of yours already
@slowed
Hi, please publish from the draft. We share the tracks with the judges as audiotool album. Additionally we download the tracks and master them before we send them to EWC for their broadcast. Please don’t forget to publish the track as remixable
You are free to use other DAWs. Download the stems of the original. Produce your track. And upload the track as stems to setup your tracks and entire production in Audiotool. Then publish your track and submit as usual on the contest pages of your choice.
Ok I have a question....I had submitted a remix to 2 of the Games/Contests after all the changes were made with one single deadline. I recently made another remix that I believe is better than my 1st remix. Even though my 1st remix hit #5 on the AudioTool charts. Will my 2nd remix be recognized regardless of the contest or would I have to delete my 1st remix to go and submit my 2nd remix to a contest? I ask because I have reread everything above and I see that is says this specifically "Tracks will be selected by EWC regardless of the contest to be played during the games at the event and used in marketing around the games. This is a great chance for your music to be showcased." Plus,I see that is says this as well "You can participate by creating and publishing your remix in Audiotool or by downloading the stems to create your remix in any DAW, then uploading your stems into Audiotool and publishing from there as an open track for others to discover and remix." So should I just let things be?
Nevermind. I believe I understand what's up. I believe we aren't going by the original Boardpost, and now by the updated Boardpost, which say's again specifically "Tracks will be selected by EWC regardless of the contest to be played during the games at the event and used in marketing around the games. This is a great chance for your music to be showcased." Fingers crossed!!!! Hint hint, my 2nd remix I believe gets straight to the point and is jammin compared to my 1st remix which I had already submitted. I hope I'm right, for realz! Because whether I win or not, I was hoping to get that JAM Midi Guitar and whatever else comes with it. Of course, it's been longtime dream of mine to go to London. For realz. Considering I specialize in producing Drum and Bass. Which is where Drum and Bass originated from.
lol. just bounce your stems and upload them to audiotool. you can give them some easy mastering with the multiband compressor and a limiter in the studio!
