What is an open verse challenge

An open verse challenge is a contest that encourages fans and other musicians to add their own lyrics to your music, either by rapping or singing along with your instrumental. For artists, they are a fun and exciting way to create meaningful connections with their fan base; and for fans, they provide them with the opportunity to meet their favorite musicians, transform their music in to their own, and discover new talent coming up from the underground.

Why should artists participate in open verse challenges

The main benefit of running an open verse challenge is that it helps to increase your exposure to audiences you might never have reached before. Also, by allowing fans to create and share their own versions of your song, you are effectively providing incentive for them to promote your music in front of their followers and networks.
