The Unsigned Only Music Competition in the US is calling on musicians around the world to submit entries for its Triple Play promotion contest.
The opportunity is open to artists who have original music and are looking for exposure, recognition and a chance to be noticed by industry professionals. Ten entries from Week 1 will be chosen and provided written feedback on the song submission from Unsigned Only's listening committee.

The overall winner will receive a Nashville Getaway prize package, which will include $500 in cash that can be used towards travel expenses, three-night accommodation at a local Airbnb within minutes of downtown, and a $100 Uber gift card.
