The Co-Op Album Challenge!

GameGrooves is challenging YOU to create a 6-track video game cover EP with a friend or friends. It doesn’t matter if you’ve just started making video game covers or if you've been producing for years, this challenge is for anyone and everyone!

Challenge

Create a 6-track video game cover EP with a friend(s) by the end of December 2023.

TIMELINE

  • May 1st, 2023 - Album pitch must be submitted.

  • September 1st, 2023 - Arrangements must be finished.

  • January 1st, 2024 - Mastered tracks must be finished.

Rules

  1. Artists MUST collaborate with at least one other primary arranger for the EP.

    • Arrangers do not need to work on the same tracks (i.e. Artist A could arrange 1 track and Artist B could arrange 5 tracks).

    • There can be no more than 2 additional primary arrangers.

    • There can be no more than 10 featured artists.

    • Each artist can only submit one project, but they can be featured as a primary arranger on as many projects as they want.

  2. All six tracks must be from a licensable video game(s) (read Soundrop’s guide to learn more).

  3. Artists must submit all their work for every check-in.

  4. Artists must create this album from scratch (i.e. no previous track arrangements).

Additional Info

  • Tracks can be from more than one game or game series.

  • Artists can submit their work before a check-in deadline.

  • Artists can hire someone to create album art if they so choose.

  • Artists retain all rights to their music and arrangements.

If an artist completes all 6 check-ins, GameGrooves will cover the costs of licensing ($0.99 a track; ~$6 per person) and will assist with marketing.
