Want to win music promotion and radio tracking across North America?
Sometimes our blogs can give you straightforward advice – like, how to make your social media pages better or why radio airplay is still important. Other times, we may have a bias – like this blog where we are going to go over ALL the reasons you should enter our CASTER EMERGE contest to promote your music and why not doing it if you’re a music artist is daft. And you’ll want to get on it fast – the contest runs until Feb 28.
Just to set expectations, you don’t win an award if you sign up for this contest, or a trophy or even a certificate of merit. No, you get something even better – the ability to promote your music to curators and tastemakers over the course of THREE singles. With this in mind, we’re giving you all the reasons why you’d be seriously silly not to enter your band or yourself in this contest.
Finalists and winners will promote music with Caster (for free!)
To enter, you just need a Caster account, which you can get for free by clicking on this link (make sure to sign up via the contest page so you get the submission email!). No professional headshots or previous radio airplay, just a Caster account. From there you will be sent a submission form and once you add a link to your track and some information, you’re entered. Three artists with strong radio airplay potential are announced each month – we have already written about our January finalist selections!
Gain exposure to new audiences
Being a part of Caster EMERGE gets you some great exposure. If chosen as a monthly finalist, you will be highlighted in our blog and on our social media pages. In turn, the Play MPE audience will SEE and HEAR you! You will also move on to the final ten.
Get on the same playing field as top artists
This contest is specifically for emerging talent, so the playing field is fair. All the entrants are talented musicians looking to get their music out there to people who may ask to hear more.
Play MPE is well respected within the music industry. Our base consists of label execs, radio promoters, music supervisors, advertising agencies and more. Entering this contest puts your music in front of the very people you want to reach, ones who could absolutely make a difference to your career.
See how far your music can go
A contest like this is a great way to challenge yourself and/or your band. Think of it as a team building experience where you come together with the common goal of showing folks you deserve to be one of the monthly picks. What’s cooler than showing an audience what you got?
Ultimately, ten finalists will get one song each promoted to radio (NonComm, College), media and more using Play MPE’s Caster. Radio airplay will be tracked via MTR. While two artists will win music promotion and tracking packages for three singles over the course of one year, all finalists are getting a single promoted to a BIG audience.
If you ask me – and I know you didn’t – this seems like a big win. It’s a low lift with a potentially big reward. Not to be nudgy, but finish reading this blog and submit your song already! Your spot in the top ten is waiting!
