If you select pop, folk or rock for a rap, metal or other excluded release, your submission will be declined for incorrect genre selection and no refund will be issued.

Please read before submitting

IMC does not feature AI-generated music or music generated with Suno, Udio or similar AI systems, Christmas songs, demos, live versions, explicit lyrics, Auto-Tune or vocal effects, Country, Americana, Christian music, rap, metal, yelling, spoken word or covers. We also do not feature tracks focused on religion, violence, politics, hot topics or war. And we are not fans of harmonica, to be honest.

We welcome finished and well-produced songs, emotional songwriting, honest lyrics, organic sounds, goosebumps and music that says something and leaves a mark.

I confirm that my release meets the IMC submission guidelines.
