The founding roster of Agent Records will be chosen in 25 days. If you've built something worth pressing, this is your shot.
Every great label started the same way — by finding the artists nobody else was paying attention to.
Three sets of eyes. Independent scores. No politics.
Every submission is reviewed independently by the founding team and guest judges. Scores are averaged. Nobody sees anyone else's marks until the final tally. The People's Choice winner is chosen by community vote alone — the judges don't touch it.
Judges announced on Day 1.
The founding roster should feel chosen, not rushed. The window is short, the review is real, and the wall only opens once.
The door opens and the first wave comes in.
The shortlist goes public and the community gets a real say in who deserves the spotlight.
No extensions. No second window.
Day 10–12: Judges review and score the shortlist. Day 13–24: Winners announced — one per day for 12 days. Day 25: Full roster live on The Wall.
Not a gift card. Not credits. Actual ownership of Agent Records. We believe the best builder in this competition will be someone worth building a company with.
Four criteria. Scored 1–5 each. Maximum 20 points.
Not a token feature. A proper first pressing, a cleaner path into the wall, and a release treatment that actually means something.
The best submissions are clear, specific, and grounded. Enough to try the work. Enough to judge it fairly.
12 spots. 25 days. One winner walks away with 10% of the label. Show us what you've built.
