How To Enter

Create a short video that showcases one or more Sonuscore instruments in a creative way. Whether it’s a quick idea to picture, a live performance, a behind-the-scenes screen capture, or something completely unexpected – what matters is how you present you and your Sonuscore instrument.

Your video should highlight Sonuscore in action, musically and visually. It can be based on your own composition, but it doesn’t have to be. You might demonstrate a workflow, share a creative trick, build a cue to a scene, or simply create something fun and engaging.

The video needs to be in 16×9  or 9×16 format, at least in HD quality, and 30–90 seconds long.

We welcome every kind of composition style. Simply create a video that puts at least one Sonuscore product in the spotlight (including our free products), and bring your own creative angle – cinematic, educational, playful, or anything in between.

Your entry composition does not need to be the composition for your recording session.

Contest Quick Facts

  • Creative Content: Showcase at least one Sonuscore instrument (including free products) through a performance, screencast, workflow tip, or cinematic cue.
  • Video Format: 16:9 or 9:16 aspect ratio in at least HD quality.
  • Duration: 30–90 seconds long.
  • Music Rights: You must own the full rights to your music. No AI-generated music allowed.
  • Flexibility: Your contest entry does not have to be the piece you eventually record with the orchestra.

Make it inspiring, make it entertaining, make it stand out.
