The competition has been opened up to musicians around the world for the first time.

Musicians from across the globe are invited to enter Vans' 'Musicians Wanted' competition, which launches today. The competition is offering one lucky act the chance to win a support slot for Anderson .Paak at House Of Vans; a featured appearance in Spotify ads for Vans; and a 'Musicians Wanted' customised Fender guitar.

The Top 5 finalists, meanwhile, will get free album distribution for one year provided by One RPM; playlisted on Vans Spotify and Apple Music; music added to The GoBig!Library; Fender Player Series guitar and accessory pack; and assigned a Fender regional rep.

To enter, submit your demo here by October 11. The top five regional finalists will then play a virtual concert in December – while the ultimate winner will have the chance to share the stage with Anderson .Paak at one of the House Of Vans stages in 2021, pending Covid-19 circumstances.

The judges for this year's 'Musicians Wanted' include Anderson .Paak, Bohan Phoenix, J.I.D, Nilüfer Yanya and Tierney Stout.

Enter Vans Musicians Wanted for a chance to share the stage with @AndersonPaak in 2021! The grand prize winner will also receive a produced music video, music gear and more. Don’t wait - submissions close on October 11th. More info at https://t.co/HFfr6TF0ow. pic.twitter.com/2nm5NFa0lC
