WHAT IS UNSIGNED ONLY?
Unsigned
Only is the premier music competition in the world for indie and
unsigned artists (including solo artists, bands, and singers) who are
unsigned to a major record label. Why does Unsigned Only include only
unsigned artists? It’s simple. Limiting the competition to unsigned
artists levels the playing field for entrants because they are not
competing with well-known artists, Grammy winners, or artists with a
major label machine behind them. The goal is to give indie artists
exposure, recognition, and validation for their artistry.
