Follow these rules so we can all enjoy the music. Songs or participants that violate the rules may disqualified at the committee’s discretion. ___
One song per person: Each participant can submit only one single song for SSC6
No changes: Do not alter anything about your song—lyrics, title, image—or anything else during the contest, unless required by the staff.
Language: The song must be either instrumental or in a language recognized by Google Translate. Mixed languages are allowed.
Lyrics:
The full lyrics of your song must be visible throughout the entire contest.
Lyrics must follow Suno’s Terms of Service - meaning they must be original or be in the public domain (e.g. a poem whose author has been dead for at least 70 years).
Duration: The song must be between 2:00 minutes and 5:00 minutes long. Silence at the end of the track will not count towards this duration as long as the music ends completely by 5:00 minutes.
The title of the song must not include emojis, fantasy fonts, and/or decorations.
Each title must end with SSC6 and country ID in the format: Song Name [SSC6, Country].
Please use the English name of the country; common acronyms (USA, UK, UAE) are accepted.
We recommend keeping the song title within 55 characters. Longer titles may be truncated in voting polls
PG-13 content rating, and avoid copyright/trademarks:
By “content” we mean anything that is visible either in the song’s page on Suno, or in the embed on Discord. This includes lyrics, style prompt, title, image, author’s name.
We will check the content to ensure it is either G-rated or PG-13-rated, as defined by the Motion Picture Association film rating system, plus some additional requirements for legal safety.
In short: no expletives* or foul language; no descriptions of, or calls to, drug use; no racism or discrimination of any kind; no politics; no direct references to copyrighted works or trademarks.
Compliance:
We will check all songs for these requirements.
If your song does not follow the requirements, we will ask you to correct it before accepting it - and you will have a limited amount of time to submit the corrections.
We reserve the right to disqualify songs during the contest if we find new information that they do not follow the requirements.
Any participant who violates the song requirements intentionally (e.g., hiding lyrics, using egregious foul language) may be further barred from future seasons.
Song ending: Songs must have a proper ending. They must not terminate abruptly, e.g. in the middle of a note.
No previous SSC songs: You can submit any song including previously published songs, as long as they have not participated in any previous SSC season - including challenge songs.
