Hey everyone!
Time is flying so fast. First quarter of 2024 is done and today, on this April 1st and Easter Monday, The Community Music Chat Team brings to you not an April Fool but the opportunity for upcoming artists to share their work with the whole Spotify Community by submitting their new releases to the Fifteenth Edition of Artists Wanted: Share Your Talent With The Community.
How does "Artists Wanted Edition No 15" work?
Questions artists should answer to participate
The Community Music Chat Team will go through all submissions, and propose a few for the entire Community to vote on. Once the results are in, we'll contact the winner, and they will be featured in our Community blog!
When will submissions and voting occur?
Artists submissions: from April 1 to April 21 (Midnight Pacific Time)
Community vote: from April 29 to May 5 (Midnight Pacific Time)
Where to participate?
We'll hand it over to you, artists on the Spotify Community - post your answers to our questions in a comment below. Don't be shy, we'll be very glad to hear your tracks and read your replies!
Note - We ask artists to submit only original songs and not covers. Also, artists should not post/embed videos, as we'd like to keep the ground fair for smaller artists with lesser budgets.
P.S. When it comes to choosing the winning artist, we'll give equal chance to the finalists to gather votes from the forum's users; so don't get discouraged if you enter your submission at a later point and don't gather too many likes in this thread.
If a song is selected for being submitted to the Community vote, artists are allowed to mention it to their followers, in Spotify, as in Social Medias. Please be fair with all contestants and support participation with our Community by asking them to listen to all submissions.
We also reserve the right to refuse songs if the song content is in breech of Community guidelines. Should this happen we'll aim to reach out to you and discuss the decision.
WARNING : Submissions posted after the limit date or song too old, won't be taken in count.
Good Luck Everyone...

Hi @7ContinentCarl,
We appreciate the submission; it was definitely pleasant to listen to!
It seems, however, that the song was released in 2022, which isn't recent enough for it to qualify for this edition of AW.
Thank you for your understanding, and I hope you have a good day regardless!
Ah yes. Well the new album, River of Tears, comes out in May, so we will share some more tracks from that soon. Give a listen and follow or add to any playlists you think it vibes with. Thanks!

Welcome to the Community and thanks for your submission.
However, you are allowed to submit only one song per session of Artists Wanted. So, be kind to chose one of the two songs you have submitted and remove the other.
