Stay tuned for next year's submission dates to be announced in Spring 2016! After that, our amazing guest judges will narrow the selections down to the top ten finalists, who will be invited to perform live at the Alchemy Showcase where the grand prize winner will be determined. Over the past four years we’ve heard an array of wonderful songs from all over the world – it’s time for us to hear yours!

100% of the proceeds from the Alchemy Competition and Showcase will go to benefit Blackbird Academy of Arts' non-profit arts education programs.
