Global talent competitions run entirely by the community — artists compete, fans vote, judges review, and careers are launched. Every open competition is a real opportunity.
Annual global talent search open to all independent artists. Winners receive festival booking, mentorship, and an editorial spotlight across the MoS network.
Community votes to select three emerging artists for a curated showcase slot. Open to all MoS community members.
A transparent, community-driven competition model — from submission to winners announced.
Artists apply through their MOS profile. Upload your mix, live set, or original work. Our team reviews eligibility and confirms your entry within 48 hours.
The platform opens voting to all registered fans and members. Every vote is tracked transparently. Community momentum shapes the leaderboard in real time.
A curated panel of industry figures — bookers, label directors, event producers — evaluate shortlisted entries against a published criteria framework.
Winners are announced publicly on the platform, promoted editorially, and connected directly to the prizes — bookings, cash, mentorship, or all three.
Winning isn't the only outcome. Competing on MOS puts you in front of decision-makers.
Every competition participant gets full exposure across the platform — your profile is surfaced to event organisers, label scouts, and bookers who use Mystics of Sound to discover talent. Even a strong showing without a win can trigger inquiries.
Prize pools are funded directly and paid to winners — no sponsorship delays, no vague 'exposure' prizes. First-place awards range from €500 to €2,000 plus festival bookings, depending on the competition tier and category.
Fan voting is built into every competition. Even before judges deliberate, community momentum can carry an unknown artist to the top of the leaderboard — putting their name in front of 85K+ active platform members organically.
Rankings are calculated from competition performance, bookings, fan engagement, and editorial features. Updated weekly.
Every open competition is a real shot. Build your profile, submit your entry, and let the community decide.
