Details

Music First, a local nonprofit, is working with American Songwriter and bringing Colorado a competition this summer into winter that has 6 artists competing in the Americana, Rock, Indie, R&B/Soul and Folk/Singer Songwriter genres.

Prizes will include entry into American Songwriter, a paid performance slot in a festival for Fall of 2025, cash and other prizes that will be voted on by our members during the May Member Meeting.

Each genre round will consist of 6 artists, competing for themselves or representing a band, in front of an audience who will then cast their vote for each round winner. The final round will be the winner of each genre round, with their full band or by themselves. The first round is used to more highlight the song, and the final round is to exhibit the song either with the artist's band or by themselves. The competition will break down into the following;

July 17th - Americana
August 21st - Rock
September 18th - Indie
October 16th - R&B / Soul
November 20th - Folk / Singer Songwriter
December 4th - Finals!

If you are interested in competing, please email us at MusicFirstColorado@gmail.com

Since we are working with American Songwriter for this competition, we will be following their qualifications. We will have a page up on our website this week regarding the competition.
