What to Upload
Submit up to 5 of your strongest, original vocal recordings — playback covers, originals, or live vocal performances. Each submission is an audio track that puts your voice front and centre: solo vocals, a cappella, or your own accompaniment.
Authentic ownership: every recording must be performed and fully owned by you — sung by you. Share your cleanest, best-sounding takes.
Integrity first: any plagiarism, lip-synced or borrowed vocals, purchased tracks, or AI-generated voices result in immediate disqualification.
Q: Who can participate in the WallMag Playback Vocal Music Awards 2026?
A: Any creator based in India over 18 years of age can participate — hobbyist and professional vocalists and playback singers alike, with no experience restrictions.
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 entries can I submit, and must they be original?
A: You may submit up to 5 vocal recordings that you performed and own. Lip-synced, borrowed, or AI-generated vocals are disqualified.
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.
Q: Are AI-generated voices or borrowed vocals allowed?
A: No. Only genuine vocals you performed yourself are eligible; any violation leads to immediate disqualification. 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.
