ABOUT US
SOUNDRAW is an AI music composition service from Japan, founded with the vision of "democratizing music composition." With just a few clicks, you can create the track you want, and export it as stem data for use in music production. Since it is copyright-free, you can use it commercially without worrying about any trouble.
Eligible Tracks
Vocals: optional
You can sing, rap, or play your instrument over a SOUNDRAW track - or producers can use it as a sample and flip the instrumental: vocals or not, it's completely up to you!

FAQs and Answers
1. Is it OK to submit a beat entirely made by AI?
No. Using AI-generated vocals or tracks as part of your production is permitted, but you must add your own touch.
2. Can one person submit multiple beats?
Each person is limited to one song. Even if you are co-writing, please refrain from participating in multiple songs.
3. Can I modify music within the submission period?
No. You can only submit your entry once, so please make sure you check everything carefully before submitting.
4. Will the song I submit be used on social media or in the media?
The winning songs may be introduced in interviews and results articles at a later date. Non-winning songs may be used freely after the event.
5. Do I need to pay for SOUNDRAW to enter?
No. You are required to use SOUNDRAW as part of your production, but you can enter without paying because there is a 30-day free coupon (BEATSNOW). There is no designated subscription plan. Please note that your payment will be automatically renewed after the trial ends.
