submission

  • Submissions for the 2025 PDX Pop Now vol.22 Compilation are OPENED until February 18th, 2025! Share your amazing music with us & the entire Portland Community & thank you for your brilliant contributions!

So what’s next?

After receiving all of the submissions, songs are anonymously evaluated by the 100+ volunteers on the PDX Pop Now! Listening Committee, as well as the PDX Pop Now! Board of Directors. We will send you an email in mid-March letting you know whether or not your song has been selected. At that time, if you’ve been selected, we’ll be in touch about paperwork, high-quality audio files for mastering, and other info we may need. Any questions? Please contact:
