2026 WallMag Awards
Where Beats Become Anthems
Opens on Aug 7, 2026
WallMag EDM Production Awards 2026 is a national celebration of India's electronic-music producers — the beatmakers, sound designers, and studio artists shaping the country's dancefloors. We invite producers to submit their strongest original tracks for recognition by both a specialist jury and the wider creator community. Beyond a title, this is a platform: editorial features, brand collaborations, and a showcase across WallMag's handles that puts your sound in front of the people who matter. If you produce EDM, this is your stage to be heard.

What to Upload
Submit up to 5 of your strongest original EDM productions — finished tracks, remixes, edits, or performance and visualizer videos. Both audio and video submissions are welcome, so lead with whatever best represents your sound.
Every submission must be created and fully owned by you. Uploads may be audio or video files, and you can share a maximum of 5 unique projects.
Any plagiarism, copied work, uncleared samples presented as your own, stock content, or fully AI-generated music results in immediate disqualification.
Q: Who can enter the EDM Production Awards?
A: Any producer making original electronic music can enter — from emerging bedroom producers to established artists. If the work is yours, you're eligible.
Q: How are entries judged?
A: Judging happens in two stages. First, the WallMag creator community votes on every entry, and the Top 100 entries with the most community votes become the finalists. Only after the finalists are announced does the expert jury begin — reviewing those 100 finalists to select the Top 3 winners. In short: the community vote decides the Top 100 finalists, and the jury decides the winners.
Q: How many tracks can I submit, and must they be original?
A: You can submit up to 5 projects, and every one must be your own original, fully-owned work.
Q: What do winners and finalists receive?
A: Winners receive partner brand coupons, WallMag Creator Magazine features, recognition certificates, brand-collaboration opportunities, and a showcase across WallMag's handles. All Top 100 finalists receive a finalist certificate and a feature mention.
Q: Is AI-generated or sample-pack music allowed?
A: Fully AI-generated music, stock content, and uncleared or plagiarised material are not allowed and lead to disqualification. Cleared samples used properly within your own original production are fine. Q: How do I add proof of ownership to my submitted project? A: Open the award page and go to your “My Submissions” tab, then tap “Submit Proof” on the entry. Add a short statement confirming the work is your own, along with an optional supporting file such as your original/RAW file or source. You can do this any time while the award is open. Adding proof protects your entry during judging and is required later to unlock your certificate. Q: How are the Top 100 finalists decided? A: The Top 100 finalists are decided purely by the WallMag creator community vote — the 100 entries with the highest community votes become finalists. The expert jury does not take part at this stage. Jury voting begins only after the Top 100 finalists are announced, and it decides the Top 3 winners from among those finalists.
