The international competition is currently accepting original songs created through meaningful collaboration between humans and AI.
The winning team will receive:
- US$1,000 in cash plus a trip to Bangkok to attend the 2026 Award Show.
- The live award event is scheduled for November 29, 2026 in Bangkok, Thailand.
This Is Not Simply an AI-Generated Music Contest
One of the most important requirements is that creators must demonstrate meaningful human involvement.
The official rules state that entries where the only human contribution is prompting an AI system, with no further editing or manipulation, will be disqualified.
Instead, the competition is looking for collaboration.
AI may contribute to areas such as:
- Composition
- Melody
- Harmony
- Lyrics
- Arrangement
- Sound design
- Voice generation
- Production
- Creative experimentation
But the human creator or team must actively shape the final work.
Who Can Participate?
The AI Song Contest describes itself as an international competition involving teams of musicians, AI specialists and anyone interested in combining music with artificial intelligence.

IMAGINE THIS POWERING YOUR NEXT RELEASE.
- Artists + producers + developers + AI researchers + digital creators
- rather than requiring every entrant to be both a musician and a technical AI expert.
What Must Be Submitted?
Each team must submit:
- The finished song as an MP3 or WAV file
- A completed submission form
- Team imagery
- Cover artwork
- A detailed Process Document explaining how AI was used
Songs cannot exceed four minutes.
Each team may submit only one final song.
The process document is particularly important because judges need to understand which tools were used, how they influenced the song and what creative decisions remained in human hands.
How Is the Winner Chosen?
The final result combines evaluations from a professional jury with voting from the international audience.
