Free Pilot Competition
We are inviting songwriters worldwide to enter the Million Dollar Riff Pilot Competition for free.
You take the judge’s seat, where your vote determines the winner of the $1000 AUD prize up for grabs.
We have launched this free event in the lead up to our peer-funded competition, which will take place next year.
Enter now and see how the platform can benefit you and your music community!
Whether it’s to win the cash prize, expand your career, build your audience, get stats or test a song (globally), or simply expose a gem of song you’ve had hidden... this is your opportunity.
Anyone can vote (Listeners, Artists, Studios and the like). You simply need to be MDR Registered (as an Artist). You judge and total number of votes determine the winner.
Your votes are based on a song’s value, without identity interfering. It’s an equal opportunity – it’s not about age, gender, location, background, identity, status, whether you’re professional or emerging, it’s about the song.
When all votes are in and tallied, the final artists will be revealed. You’ll be able to hear and download your favourite tracks in full length and follow the artists who made them.
