Artists need to be U.S.-based and have either a DEBUT+ SELECT or non-exclusive PARTNER membership with UnitedMasters. However, the challenge will be open to every artist based in Colorado, Maryland, Nebraska, or North Dakota regardless of their membership tier.
Secondly, to enter, artists need to release a track through UnitedMasters on or after June 1, 2024, post a video using the track on TikTok or Instagram with the hashtag #DebutContest, and tag UnitedMasters. They must also complete a submission form on the UnitedMasters website.
They are calling for submissions from August 13 to September 13, 2024—one submission per artist. This challenge is part of the initiative by UnitedMasters to empower independent artists with resources and opportunities that will ultimately lead to success within this very competitive music industry.
