The Collective Brief

Posted 09 Oct 2025

A Monthly Creative Challenge for Artists Who Want More Than Likes

The industry’s shifting. The energy’s low. Let’s build something better, together.

Every month, we drop one brief. One challenge. One opportunity to be seen, and more importantly, paid! For your creativity.

Whether you’re an emerging artist or an established voice, The Collective Brief is your chance to respond to a real-world creative prompt, submit your best work, and compete for a cash prize funded directly by us.

No brand gatekeeping. No subscription required. Just £1 to enter, and a shot at winning.

How It Works:

1. One brief drops every month

2. You have until the final day of the month to submit your song

3. Entry fee is £1 per song

4. We choose the winner

5. Top 5 finalists are announced publicly

6. 2nd and 3rd place are decided by public vote via Syncr socials

What Happens After You Submit:

1. Your work is reviewed by the Syncr team

2. Finalists are featured across our socials and email

3. Public voting opens for 2nd and 3rd place

4. Winners are announced and paid directly

5. You get visibility, feedback, and a shot at real recognition

Why Are We Doing This?

Right now, the music industry feels heavy. Opportunities are shrinking. Algorithms are louder than artistry. And too many artists are left wondering if their work still matters.

We feel that. And we’re not here to pretend it’s fine. We’re here to do something about it.

We know what it’s like to pour your heart into your craft and feel like no one’s listening. To submit your work and hear nothing back. To chase exposure while wondering if it’s even worth it.

So we built something different.

The Collective Brief is a monthly challenge built to spark creativity, reward real work, and bring artists together. No gatekeeping. No brands. Just one prompt, one submission, and a chance to be seen, supported, and paid.
