Partnering with established producers can be a game-changer for emerging artists – gaining expertise, new fans and industry attention is often the catalyst for big moves.
But even if you have a growing audience, finding opportunities like this can be a major hurdle.
In the past, reaching large collaborations required some level of connection—whether through artist management, publishing agents, or A&R representatives.
Today, however, not every artist has access to members of this type of music industry — even if their music is totally worthy of attention.
LANDR Challenges are a whole new way for emerging producers to collaborate with established artists, engage their fan bases, create new music, and earn real streaming revenue.
That’s why it’s easier than ever for LANDR Challenges to navigate the tough music industry and secure big collaborations, leveling the playing field.
Every emerging producer should be excited about how LANDR Challenges can help artists collaborate meaningfully with established artists, engage their own fans, and improve their music production skills.
Here’s how it works.
What is the LANDR Challenge?
LANDR Challenges are a whole new way for emerging producers to collaborate with established artists, engage their fan bases, create new music, and earn real streaming revenue.It’s hosted through LANDR’s collaboration platform – free for anyone Join the LANDR Challenge.
This is the mechanism behind the LANDR challenge.
When you take part in the challenge, you’ll receive a collection of unfinished memes from the host artist – which you can use as inspiration and add your own flair and flair to the track.
Participating in the LANDR Challenge is easier than you might think – that’s because each LANDR Challenge comes with a free Chromatic sample set that participants must use to inspire their version of the track.
Once you’ve written a version of the host’s track, all you have to do is submit it to the challenge through the LANDR collaboration tool and encourage your fans to vote for your track.
The track with the most fan votes at the end of the voting period will win entry to the final round of the Challenge, where the host will select the favorite from a pool of up to 20 finalists.
If you win the challenge, you own the distro
This is where things get interesting – if your track is chosen as the winner, the story doesn’t end there.
In fact, you are just getting started. That’s because not only did you win the challenge, but you’ll now also be considered a co-owner and co-producer of the final track.
This means you and the host will share ownership and you will receive future payments from any streaming earnings on that track.
So if your co-op fails, you’ll be rewarded there!
Your fans own a part of this version too!
This part really changes the game. Encouraging your fans to vote for your track is always going to be tough, especially if the motivation to spend the time listening and voting is low.
Fans have the opportunity to take ownership of the song you publish – as a small percentage of ownership of the track will go to the few fans who voted for the winning track.
LANDR Challenges reverse this lack of incentives by giving fans the opportunity to take ownership of what you publish – as a small percentage of ownership of the track will go to the few fans who vote for the winning track.
So when you take part in the LANDR Challenge, tell your fans to vote for you and let them know that if you win, they will get actual ownership of your song!

With challenges, your fans become your A&R
The most exciting part of LANDR Challenges is that your fans will vouch for you. You don’t need an agent or A&R representative to bring you to the landlord.
You just have to do your best, get creative, submit some great work, and tell your fans to vote for your song.
And, don’t forget, the LANDR Challenge enables your fans to vote to become partial owners of your track and earn a small percentage of streaming payments.
Fourth wave of fan engagement
In the past, fans were limited in how they interacted with their favorite artists.
Initially, their best route was to attend their live performances and possibly write in fan mail.
Then there’s social media, which allows artists and fans to interact more directly in a more intimate setting – where artists and fans can be more personal with each other.
The third wave invites fans to participate in the creative process through platforms such as TikTok, encouraging fans to duet with their favorite artists and perform dances to their favorite tracks.
Now, LANDR is launching its fourth wave of fan engagement.
LANDR Challenges not only invite fans to participate in the creative process, but also offer them the opportunity to acquire fractional ownership of the work of their favorite artists.
It’s an exciting new way to inspire fan engagement by earning streaming revenue and pride in owning a culture.
