The Process

FROM UPLOAD TO CROWN

Four phases. Thirty days. One winner.

01

Upload Window · April 24, 2026 – May 13, 2026

Submit your track

Two weeks to upload. Pick your best AI-generated song (90 seconds to 10 minutes, MP3 / WAV / FLAC / M4A / OGG / AAC), fill in the form, and you're in. Free to enter, one entry per artist per season. After the window closes at 23:59 UTC on Day 14, no late submissions. That's the deal.

02

AI Judging · Live during uploads

The judges score every entry

All three AI judges score every track within minutes of upload. Each judge produces a score on a 0.0 to 10.0 scale plus written feedback; the composite determines bracket seeding. Track DNA, lyrics analysis, and listener report drop on the song page the moment the run completes.

03

The Bracket · May 14, 2026 – May 27, 2026

Six voting rounds · two editorial interludes

From The Draw (Day 15) onward the field narrows from 100 down to 3. Heart voting at the Round of 100 and Round of 25 (unlimited hearts, top N by count advance). Head-to-head pair voting at the Round of 50 and Round of 10 (seeded #1-vs-#N matchups, matchup winner advances). Single-pick voting at the Semifinal (one vote each, top 3 advance). Two interludes (Second Listen on Day 20 and Top 10 Showcase on Day 23) are no-vote content beats. Full daily timing on the schedule page.

04

The Finale · May 28, 2026

Three finalists, 72 hours, one pick

Three finalists, three days, one vote per voter. Live tallies stay hidden until the podium reveal at 23:59 UTC on Day 30. The winner takes home $1,000 cash, the featured artist spotlight, and the permanent winner badge. Runner-up and third-place share the podium.
