Red Bull is currently accepting submissions for its 2025 Red Bull Jukebox Songwriting Competition. Songwriters can submit their original music now through July 1 for a chance to be judged by a powerhouse panel including multi-Platinum singer, songwriter and 2024 Red Bull Jukebox Alum Breland, Whiskey Jam’s Ward Guenther and Red Bull Records executive Greg Hammer. The top three finalists will score a trip to Nashville, with the ultimate winner unveiled live during the next Red Bull Jukebox event — earning an all-expenses-paid trip to Los Angeles, a coveted recording session at Red Bull Recording Studios and a one-on-one coaching session with BMI.
“Over the course of my career, I’ve been lucky to work with incredibly talented songwriters across multiple genres,” says Hammer, Managing Director of Red Bull Records. “What sets the best songwriters apart from the rest is their ability to be authentic storytellers with a unique perspective. They think less about trends and more about sharing a real connection with their audience. I’ll carry that criteria into the competition and I’m excited to help discover the next great hitmaker.”
Last October, Red Bull hosted the inaugural Red Bull Jukebox showcase at Ascend Amphitheater in Nashville with performances by Brothers Osborne, Shaboozey, Priscilla Block, Tucker Wetmore, Muscadine Bloodline, Breland, The Castellows and surprise guests including Mickey Guyton and The Fisk Jubilee Singers. Singer-songwriter Gary Frost was chosen as the 2024 songwriting competition winner.
