Eurovision Comes To USA As The American Song Contest

originally published: 05/27/2021

Eurovision Comes To USA As The American Song Contest

The American Song Contest is based on Eurovision - the biggest music competition in the world, with a 65-year history and 200 million viewers per year. The American Song Contest will feature live musical performances of original songs representing each of the 50 states and the major U.S. territories. Each original song will compete against each other in a LIVE televised event series, with the country watching.

The American Song Contest is scouring the nation looking for artists who own the stage and captivate an audience with original music. From indie to pop, bands to DJ’s, rappers to singer-songwriters, signed or independent! They will showcase an array of original musicians in all genres from across the country.

Artists must be 16 years or older - up to 6 members per act. Must be a legal resident of the United States or U.S. territories.

This show is different from others in that it seeks only original songs - no covers or tribute bands. Click here to set up an artist account or to get more information.

The American Song Contest is brought to you by NBC, Propagate, Universal Television Alternative Studio, veteran producers of Eurovision Song Contest, and the Executive Producer of The Voice.
