Announcing SpinTunes 24

Hello, everyone! Micah here, excited to announce that SpinTunes 24 will be happening March 1 to May 5, 2025.

SpinTunes is a four-round tournament for songwriters and recording artists. In each round, contestants receive a challenge prompt and have nine days to write and record a brand-new song that meets the challenge. Our panel of judges, all previous SpinTunes contestants, then review and rank all entries on the strength of their songwriting, performance, and production, with the highest-ranked contestants moving on to the next round. The winner of the fourth round earns the title of SpinTunes 24 Champion!

Below, find links to all the information about the upcoming tournament. We hope you will join us for SpinTunes 24!
