About Music Aid 2020

 Music Aid 2017 is a unique music event supporting musicians, singers, songwriters and bands, where participants can earn cash rewards for their music, showcase their talent, support good causes, win awards and prizes and get signeed to a record deal.  The event is held in association with The Music Aid Organization, the Song Copyright Organization and world charities and music industry partners. This is an opportunity to earn genuine big cash rewards, promote your music, increase your social media reach and online presence and boost your career in music.  

HOW IT WORKS
Submit your MP3 track or video and it will be seen and heard around the world in this viral event. Participants can promote and sell tracks during the event and have permission to use Music Aid branding to show official participation. The most popular songs will earn cash rewards and share the prize fund. You will be promoting your music and talent while also helping others! Taking part in the event is an excellent way to promote and increase hits, views, sales and plays for your music, videos and tracks on YouTube, Soundcloud, Vimeo, Facebook Pages, artist websites etc

ORIGINAL SONGS / COVER SONGS / VIDEO / AUDIO
There are Awards and cash prizes for Cover Songs, Original Songs, Songwriters, Female Solo Artists, Male Solo Artists,  Singer/Songwriters, Bands, Music Videos, Instrumental Performance, Instrumental Compositions, Live Performance/Gigs and even Educational Videos. There are also Teen and Pre-Teen categories.

THE CHARTS
Charts are updated in real time based on streams, views, shares, Likes etc. You will  see live trends and the position of your songs in the event in real time. Use the charts to see the most popular artists and songs and see how your entry compares to others in the event. See global charts for all trending and popular entries worldwide and also narrow this down to Charts by category, type, genre, tag etc.

EARN $$$ CASH
Music Aid has designed this event as a unique way to earn cash rewards for your music in today's fast changing and difficult music industry. In the music business there are few guarantees. When an artist or songwriter releases a new track or album they do not know if they will earn any money from it as it will depend on how popular the track becomes and the number of sales and paid streams etc. In the same way, earning money with Music Aid 2017 also depends on how popular your song is and how many times it is streamed, liked and shared - just as with any release. But by entering Music Aid 2017 there is the additional advantage of being an important part of a very high profile viral event that will promote and share and put your music in front of many people worldwide, and there is also the advantage that it could be chosen by the Music Aid producers as a cash reward earning favourite.  The most popular songs, and the ones chosen as outstanding participants, will share the cash prize fund. This is a genuine opportunity to earn big cash rewards - see details below.

PROVIDING AID TO MUSICIANS
A guaranteed minimum of $5 from every entry fee goes directly into the Prize Fund until $100,000 has been reached to be shared among the top entrants! The more people that enter the bigger the prize fund. The songs that are most streamed, shared and Liked, and the songs and performances judged as most outstanding by Music Aid producers and editors, will earn the greatest cash rewards. All entrants, whether they earn cash rewards or not, will benefit from being part of this global viral music showcase. Music Aid has been providing aid to musicians and those wishing to enter the music business since it was founded in 1998.

PROVIDING AID TO CHARITIES
All advertising revenue from the event is donated to charitable causes with no upper limit or cap, and all proceeds from the sale of music tracks and albums from the Music Aid Music Store during the entire year is also donated to these causes. In addition, thousands of dollars of advertising space and promotion has been given and allocated to charities. Music Aid also donates part of every entry fee to a Fund to be used to establish Music Aid branches and local music centers. Music Aid has been providing aid and support to charities and good causes and has worked with some of the world's biggest organizations, including The United Nations UNV program, since it was founded in 1998.
