my song
good luck to everyone
Made this recently. Inspiration is primarily from Genesis' Duke album from 1980, but it is an instrumental version without lyrics. I have been trying to push myself to create tracks that are physically playable and it feels like I have a lot more control with the direction of the pieces without the music necessarily taking over control of my actions. I guess it makes sense based off my previous works as well as the title. While an argument can be made that this is within the "synthwave" genre, I would disagree because of the lack of purely digital drums and the overall structure is more emblematic of of a progressive-rock / pop song from that time.
Always enjoy submitting to this every year! Good luck everyone! :D

“Awesome! How do I enter?”
To submit a track for tryouts, just click “respond to this topic” in the top-right corner of this webpage, and post a link to your (ONE) track. For this round, it can be something you wrote years ago, or you can make it from scratch specifically for the competition. Before posting, just make sure your submission:
Covers, arrangements, remixes, etc. are acceptable for the tryout round only - if you make it to future rounds (the NGUAC has 3 rounds), you will be expected to make completely original songs. You can also change the piece you’d like us to judge by posting a new one before the deadline.
Also, please read ALL OF THE OTHER RULES that couldn't fit in this concise forum post.
When’s the deadline?
You have until 23:59 (11:59 p.m.) Eastern Daylight Time on July 3rd, 2025 to enter the competition.
What happens after tryouts?
Immediately after the tryout submission phase, the participants will be grouped evenly based on their fan totals, and about half of them will be accepted into the next round. Participants won’t directly compete outside of their groups until the Final Round. There are 3 rounds over the course of about 2.5 months. You can view the full schedule here.
What happens if I win?
Prizes will include custom-made forum signatures for the top 3 finishers boasting of their success, as well as spots on the front page of the Audio Portal the week after the competition. I’ll also personally pay for year-long supporter upgrades for the top 3 finishers.
And who are the beautiful humans who make all this possible?
@ADR3-N, @AhWham, @Casper, @Lordant, @RedCocoa, @TeraVex, @Veryfakeguest, and myself have joined the judging team so far. In addition, @LD-W has set up a Discord chat called “nguac2024-general” if you want to get to know some of your fellow competitors. You can access it via the NG Audio Pub, or if you’re already a member of the Pub click here.
This year, we’re also going to have a front-page ad for the NGUAC drawn by @GlitchArtTV! I’d highly recommend checking out Glitch’s work.
Thanks as always to @TomFulp and NG staff for keeping Newgrounds awesome.
Is all of Gen Z actually addicted to ketamine?
Um, no. If you want to do well in this competition, READING THE COMPLETE LIST OF CONTEST RULES is the only drug you’ll need. When in doubt, ask for clarification in this thread, in the rules post comment section, or on the Discord channel.
But above all, remember to have a ton of fun! May the competition begin! :D
