Audius, the largest decentralized music community and discovery platform for artists and their fans, is proud to announce its partnership with bitbird for the fifth volume of the label’s celebrated Create Together compilation. Running from February 4 to March 3, 2025, the contest invites aspiring producers to collaborate and submit original music for a chance to be featured on the next official bitbird compilation.
“The ‘Create Together’ series has always been about fostering creativity and collaboration within our community,” said Thorwald van den Akker, co-founder & creative director of bitbird. “Working with Audius—a platform built with creativity and an artist-first approach in mind—allows us to push this initiative forward in a way that truly supports artists. We’re excited to hear what this year’s participants create.”
Rooted in the ethos of bitbird’s ‘create forever’ philosophy, ‘Create Together’ began in 2019 as a grassroots initiative within the label’s dedicated Discord community. What started as a month-long creative challenge quickly evolved into a defining series that has propelled rising producers into the spotlight.
The ultimate reward for winning submissions is an official release on San Holo’s bitbird, giving artists the opportunity to have their work distributed through one of the most forward-thinking labels in electronic music. In addition to the coveted spot on the compilation, winners will also be eligible for a range of prizes, including industry-leading hardware and software tools to further support their artistic growth. This year’s collaboration marks a significant milestone, as all submissions for the community-driven compilation album will be hosted exclusively on Audius, reinforcing the platform’s commitment to supporting independent artists and fostering creative collaboration.
The winning tracks will be revealed in a special listening party stream on Discord following the contest’s conclusion. Artists looking to get involved are encouraged to join the Audius and bitbird Discord communities to stay updated on submission details and find potential collaborators. Submissions are now open and close on Monday, March 3, 2025.
