In an era of evolving music landscapes and the ever-growing music community, Unsigned Only has always strived to be at the forefront of innovation. As such, we are excited to announce a significant transformation as the Unsigned Only Music Competition shifts from hosting a traditional music competition to an online music awards entity with no physical event to attend. The new Unsigned Only Music Awards reflects its ongoing commitment to recognizing and honoring exceptional talent of independent artists while encouraging creativity, innovation, and the pursuit of musical excellence. The focus will continue to exclusively be on unsigned artists, providing a level playing field for all artists who have not secured a major label record deal.

As always, the winners will be selected by a panel of judges comprised of accomplished musicians, producers, record label executives, journalists, and other professionals with extensive experience and knowledge in their respective fields. Each category will have one winner, such as Best Rock Artist, Best Country Artist, Best Latin Artist, etc. Additionally, one artist will be selected Artist of The Year and will be awarded a $20,000 cash (US) prize. All winners will receive a stunning custom, abstract sculpture/award designed by Society Awards, known for designing and manufacturing high-profile entertainment awards, such as the Emmy Awards, Golden Globe Awards, and more. Receiving a prestigious award such as this is a milestone for an artist, reflecting their dedication, creativity, and hard work and will empower and motivate them to continue evolving and striving for excellence. 

Unsigned Only would like to extends its gratitude to all the artists, supporters, and music enthusiasts who have been a part of our journey to date. We are excited about this transformation, so stay tuned as we embark on this exciting new chapter and continue to celebrate the artistry and passion of up-and-coming artists who define the future of music.
