Saint Louis is holding the 5th annual Game of Chords contest, a music competition for songwriters of all musical styles.
Game of Chords V is the contest designed by Saint Louis to promote and showcase new songwriting talent. After the great success of the previous editions, the opportunity for young songwriters to perform live with their original songs, the result of intense training, is back.
New in the new edition of the contest, will be an even greater focus on the artist’s training period, which will be divided into several stages, including one dedicated to production alongside a music producer, one to working with the band, and other sections to be discovered.
Selectees will attend music growth tracks from November/December 2024 to May 2025, arranging, production, ensemble guided by an artistic teacher/producer, with whom they will perform in the next stage of live performance.
In fact, in parallel with the training phase, the contest includes performances at several live nights, from January to May, at the live club L’Asino che vola.
Night after night, contest contestants will compete on stage with original songs, offering their repertoire in front of a large audience and a jury of “insiders,” established songwriters, composers, journalists and music critics, and record producers.
Up for grabs for the winner, proclaimed by the Jury during the Contest Final, is the production, promotion and digital distribution of two unreleased songs. Specifically, the winning songwriter of Game of Chords V will have the opportunity to:
-
- Perform live during festivals, festivals and events Saint Louis
- Record, mix & master 2 original & unreleased tracks at Saint Louis studio
