inSYNc

A Sound, Music and Song Contest for Filipino Music Artists Everywhere

Music is one of the most powerful tools in life; in telling a story, evoking an emotion, reliving an experience. It opens up new possibilities in a person’s journey similar to adding color to a black and white image. It also has the ability to connect us from people all over the world and bring about unity. Although, because of the pandemic, many composers, musicians and producers are having a hard time finding opportunities to fuel their passion.

With that, Xiklab Digital, in collaboration with Syn Music, created “inSYNc”, a contest from November 5, 2020 to December  5, 2020 for artists to share their musical skills. Participants will come up with their own musical interpretation and sound design for a selected video. The grand winner will receive a cash prize of USD 1,000 and a chance to collaborate with Syn Music internationally. All this, in an effort to showcase the Filipino talent.
