The archive welcomes submissions from artists working in various genres, from electronic and hip-hop to classical and folk. Whether you're a seasoned musician or just starting out, the 2025 songs archive provides a unique opportunity to showcase your artistry and have your music preserved for posterity.

This next song is for the night shift workers, the insomniacs, and the lovers who just ran out of things to say."
