Overview
Amadeus Code Inc. (Head Office: Minato-ku, Tokyo; CEO: Jun Inoue) is pleased to announce the launch of its original music contest, “Be More Human® 2025”, themed around creative collaboration between AI and human artists.
Now in its fourth edition as a user-generated content (UGC)(*1) contest, this year’s event features the highest-ever grand prize of ¥1,000,000 (Approx $6,700).
The standout feature of this contest is that creators retain full copyright ownership, including the AI-generated audio. While many competitions require the transfer of rights to the organizer, Be More Human® 2025 ensures that participants face no such restrictions—thanks to Amadeus Code’s 100% copyright-clean AI audio library, “Sounds.”
Nominees will be selected based on social media engagement, and the winner will be decided through public voting. This contest is open to all creators—regardless of background, nationality, or experience—who believe in the power of music and AI.
Be More Human® 2025 serves as a platform for exploring new forms of musical expression born from AI-human co-creation. Amadeus Code is fully committed to supporting the next wave of talent shaping the future of music.
(*1) UGC (User Generated Content): content created by individuals rather than corporate entities.
