General Guidelines

  • Submissions must not infringe any copyrights or any other rights of third parties. Songs with multiple writers should submit under one entrant. A separate field will request the names of all contributors.

    • Song challenge is open to all amateur and professional songwriters and spoken word artists who live in Canada. There has been overwhelming interest from artist outside of Canada - as a result, we are considering opening a separate prize category for non-Canadian artists.

    • Songs must include some form of environmental content. Entrants are required to include Earth Day notes for lyric and audio content, especially if environmental references are cryptic, subtle or abstract.

    • Songs should be around 3 minutes in length. They should cater to the demographic of popular music genres; however, other music genres and spoken word submissions are also welcome. Evoke Creatives reserves the right to disqualify entrants who submit inappropriate content.

    • Entrant may submit multiple songs, and will retain all ownership rights. Entrants are encouraged to seek SOCAN resources.

Prizes

Prizes will include studio time to record, mix and master a song, an EP collaboration with Evoke, and annual subscriptions to Distrokid or other distribution service. Toronto-based participants will be invited to perform at Evoke’s live event on April 22 at the Gladstone Hotel (Toronto).
