Original Post:

We want to hear from you.

We’re starting a community vote to highlight the artists and tracks that shaped this year.

Nominations happen right here in the comments.

Categories

Please submit one nomination per category, clearly labeled:

• Artist of the Year: Name

• Track of the Year: Track title | Artist

• Newcomer of the Year: Name

• Comeback of the Year: Name

Definition:

Newcomer of the year: Artists who released their first track on Audiotool in 2025. Secondary accounts from users with an existing main account are not eligible.

Comeback of the year: An artist who returned after a long period of inactivity, or a long-time user who achieved a standout success again after a long time.

One nomination per category per person.

Nomination deadline: December 29

You can change your nomination until the deadline by deleting your comment and posting a new one.

After the deadline has passed, no changes will be possible.

After the nomination deadline, we’ll move into the final voting phase.

To keep everything easy to follow for us, it would really help if nominations are left in the original comment sections instead of replies.

What’s next? The winning artists will be interviewed and featured in a Featured Artist Special

The Track of the Year will receive a dedicated Making Of article, including a more detailed unboxing-style video. Only Audiotool tracks can be nominated.

It’s that time again: Audiotool’s longest-running community contest is back, making the winter months a little brighter. As always, the idea is simple: jump in, make something great, and have fun doing it.

This year’s judges are kiari , Roy ↨ , Client , euke volen , po9t , and Chonoes . The rules stay familiar: tracks must have remix enabled, be published between November 10th and January 4th, use no copyrighted samples, and remixes aren’t allowed. You only get one submission, solo or collab and it needs the ATD25 tag.

The top five tracks will be pressed onto a vinyl EP, and Client is adding a $100 prize for first place. Cover art comes from leadenshrew.
