FEETURRE PRESENTS: THE INDUSTRY SPOTLIGHT CHALLENGE
Welcome to The Industry Spotlight Challenge
The music industry is built on talent, creativity, persistence, and opportunity. Every year, thousands of artists release music hoping to break through, but very few ever get the chance to place their work directly in front of respected industry professionals.
The Industry Spotlight Challenge was created to change that.
Hosted by Feeturre, this competition gives independent artists an opportunity to upload their best original song and place it directly in front of a panel of experienced music industry judges while competing for over $6,600 in XRP prizes, premium platform upgrades, promotion, and industry exposure.
Whether you're an emerging artist, songwriter, producer, vocalist, rapper, or musician, this challenge is designed to highlight exceptional talent regardless of genre.
To enter, simply upload your strongest original song submission. Judges will review each entry and select winners based on creativity, songwriting, performance, production quality, originality, commercial potential, and overall impact.
