First Step Records is excited to announce our first-ever Get Signed! contest in conjunction with Smashed Plastic Record Pressing. Aspiring musicians and songwriters can compete to win a record deal with First Step Records that comes with a prize package valued at over $3,000.

Each participant will be required to submit a song that will be critiqued during a song listening panel at the Midwest Music Expo along with a questionnaire regarding their level of activity in the music industry.

At the panel, artists will play a 60-second clip of their recorded song for the panel industry professionals. Songs will be judged based on five criteria: lyrics, melody, performance, production, and overall impression.

In addition to evaluating the quality of the submitted song, the judges will also take into consideration the contestant’s level of activity in the indie music scene, including factors such as the number of shows they have played, the size of their merch lines, and the number of followers they have amassed. Sign up by submitting the entry form on midwestmusicexpo.com!
