Vans is on the lookout for undiscovered artists in its Musicians Wanted competition

The winner of Musicians Wanted has the chance to share a stage with Anderson .Paak

If you're a musician hoping to elevate your career, the Vans Musicians Wanted competition could be just what you're looking for.

The iconic shoe brand is giving up-and-coming artists a chance to boost their reputation, along with the golden prize of sharing a House Of Vans stage with California rapper Anderson. Paak in 2021*. Other prizes include music being playlisted by Apple Music and Spotify, global music distribution, Vans merch and Fender equipment to kit out your studio.

The competition, a first for Musicians Wanted since it was founded in 2015, is open to artists from Europe, United States, Canada, Mexico, Central and South American and the Asia-Pacific regions. All entrants have to do is submit their music here by October 11.

The top five artists from each region will have their music judged by Anderson .Paak, singer-songwriter Nilüfer Yanya and J.I.D and Bohan Phoenix, both whom featured in Vans' recent This Is Off The Wall campaign. Three lucky artists will then be chosen to perform at the Vans Musicians Wanted virtual concert on December 9.
