Our goal is to identify the truly exceptional artists and to work closely with them to develop their careers and introduce their music to a broader, international audience, and to build a supportive community of performers and songwriters across all genres of music
Our independent and award winning record label, NewSong Recordings, was established in 2006 to work hand in hand with truly exceptional talent that we identify within our community of artists.
The NewSong Music Performance & Songwriting Competition is one of North America’s premier showcases of emerging performers and songwriters across an array of genres. The 2022 NewSong Music Prize will begin accepting submissions in the spring; sign up for our newsletter and follow us on social media to be among the first to know when entries open!
The 20th annual NewSong Music Competition is currently underway and we are excited to announce this year’s prizes!
Each entrant of the contest, as well as all past NewSong Finalists will receive a 10% discount on any vinyl pressing project at Citizen Vinyl, and two Award Round runner-ups will receive a vinyl package of 300×12″ records.
This year’s Grand Prize is the biggest yet! The Grand Prize winner will receive a six-song EP recorded and mixed at Citizen Studios under the NewSong Recordings label with 500 vinyl records pressed at Citizen Vinyl, and featured paid performances at the Sundance Festival’s ASCAP Cafe & an Art Brookfield’s concert series in New York City.
