2026 WallMag Awards
Where Every Key Speaks
Opens on Aug 7, 2026
WallMag Keyboard Instrumental Awards 2026 is a national celebration of India's keyboard and piano instrumentalists — the composers, arrangers, and performers who tell stories without words. We invite creators to share their most original instrumental work, whether a studio-recorded track or a live performance video. Every entry is evaluated through a dual lens — a community vote and an expert jury — so both craft and resonance count. Beyond recognition, this is a stage to be seen, heard, and celebrated alongside a peer community of India's finest instrumental talent.

What to Upload
Submit up to 5 of your strongest, original keyboard instrumental pieces — as an audio track or a performance video. Solo piano, synth compositions, film-style scores, fusion, or live keyboard performances are all welcome, as long as the music is instrumental and led by you on the keys.
Authentic ownership: every piece must be composed and/or performed and fully owned by you. Share your cleanest recordings — clear audio and, for video, a clear view of your performance.
Integrity first: any plagiarism, copied work, uncredited backing tracks, or AI-generated music results in immediate disqualification.
Q: Who can participate in the WallMag Keyboard Instrumental Awards 2026?
A: Any creator based in India over 18 years of age can participate — hobbyist and professional keyboard and piano players alike, with no experience restrictions.
Q: How are entries judged?
A: Each entry is scored by an expert jury alongside the WallMag creator community vote, combined into a single overall score that decides finalists and winners.
Q: How many entries can I submit, and must they be original?
A: You may submit up to 5 original instrumental pieces you composed and/or performed and own. Copied, uncredited, or AI-generated music is disqualified.
Q: Can I submit audio, video, or both?
A: Both — you can enter a studio-recorded audio track or a live keyboard performance video. Submit whichever best showcases your playing and composition.
Q: What do winners and finalists receive, and when?
A: Partner-brand rewards, WallMag Creator Magazine features, and recognition certificates — distributed within about a week of the winner announcement.
