Competitions     >    Music


THE ARTISTS FORUM ELECTRONIC MUSIC COMPETITION (AF-EMC): 2007 was the inaugural program formed to kickstart our new Juried Arts Competition Program. The Music Competition mission is to provide an accessible platform for songwriters and composers to present their best work for juried selection, increase artist communication and business contacts, provide career advancement opportunities, and publicly acknowledge talented artists in an industry- saturated arena.

In addition to these benefits, the competition offers a chance to share amongst thousands of US Dollars in prizes. (See below for juror bios and prize listings).  With an initial entry fee of $25* and each additional entry for $20 each, artists may affordably enter as many times as they wish in a multitude of categories.  And we has partnered with SONICBIDS.COM to make submitting entries quick and easy! (*AF Members: $20 at all times).

THE ARTISTS FORUM would like to thank all our judges, sponsors, partners, volunteers, and participants for making this inaugural venture a successful one.  Hear samples of winning entries here:
