Spotify is inviting all artists, designers and illustrators to submit artwork that best captures how music makes people feel and brings them together.

Music is a short cut to our emotions. And, music has always been part of our social experience. Spotify believes music helps people express how they're feeling, and that discovering and sharing music with friends makes our connection to each other richer.

Designs must be original, and artists should retain their original artwork files (in 300dpi) but designs must be submitted in JPEG or PNG, max size 5MB.

There is no entry fee.

Eligibility

The competition is open to anyone worldwide at least 18 years of age at the time of entry.
