Directors, officers, members, managers, and employees of Eleven Labs Inc. (“Sponsor”), and any of their parent companies, affiliate companies, subsidiaries, agents, professional advisors, advertising, promotional, public relations, and fulfillment agencies, consultants, legal counsel, website providers, web masters, and immediate family members (spouses, parent, child, sibling, grandparent, and “step” child, wherever they may live) of each are not eligible to win any prize. IF YOU DO NOT MEET ANY OF THESE REQUIREMENTS, OR ANY OTHER ELIGIBILITY REQUIREMENTS IN THESE OFFICIAL RULES, YOU ARE NOT ELIGIBLE TO WIN A PRIZE. To be eligible to win a prize, entries must be completed and received by Sponsor in the manner and format designated below.
2. Contest Period
The Contest starts at 9:00 a.m. BST on Tuesday, July 21, 2026 and ends at 11:59 p.m. BST on Monday, August 31, 2026 (the “Contest Period”). To be eligible to win a prize, a Submission (defined below) must be created and published during the Contest Period and meet the other requirements of these Official Rules, and only Verified Streams (defined in Section 6) occurring during the Contest Period will be counted. Sponsor’s or its designee’s computer and server logs are the official time-keeping devices for the Contest.
3. How to Enter
To enter, complete the following steps during the Contest Period:
(a) log in to, or create, an ElevenMusic account at elevenmusic.io;
(b) create an original music track or remix using ElevenMusic as part of the creation process; and
(c) publish that track to ElevenMusic for other users to stream.
Each track published in accordance with these Official Rules constitutes one entry into the Contest (a “Submission”). Publishing a qualifying track is the only step required to enter; there is no separate entry form. You may enter as many Submissions as you like, provided each is a separate, original track that independently satisfies these Official Rules. Both Free and paid ElevenMusic users may enter, and purchasing a subscription does not improve your chances of winning.
A Submission must remain published on the ElevenMusic Explore page continuously from the time of publication through the end of the Contest Period and the completion of winner verification. Submissions that are unpublished, deleted, or removed (including removal by Sponsor for violation of ElevenMusic’s terms or policies) before that time are ineligible.
By publishing a Submission, you agree that your Submission conforms to the Guidelines and Restrictions detailed in Section 4, below. Sponsor may choose to remove any Submission from the Contest or disqualify you from the Contest if it believes that your Submission fails to conform with the Guidelines and Restrictions.
If participating in this Contest via your mobile device (which service may only be available via select devices and participating wireless carriers, and is not required to enter), you may be charged for standard data use from your mobile device according to the terms in your wireless service provider’s data plan. Normal airtime and carrier charges and other charges may apply to data use and will be billed on your wireless device bill or deducted from your pre-paid balance. Wireless carrier rates vary, so you should contact your wireless carrier for information on your specific data plan.
4. Submission Guidelines and Restrictions
(a) Your Submission must not supply untruthful, incomplete, inaccurate or misleading information.
(b) Your Submission must have been created using ElevenMusic as part of the creation process during the Contest Period.
(c) Your Submission must be your original creation and be owned 100% by you, or, alternatively, you must have the full rights to grant the license and other rights that you grant to Sponsor in Section 11 below.
(d)Your Submission must not (in Sponsor’s discretion): (i) violate any third-party rights, including copyrights, trademark rights, or rights of privacy and publicity; (ii) contain disparaging or defamatory statements; (iii) include threats to any person, place, business, or group; (iv) be obscene, offensive, or indecent; (v) depict any risky behavior; (vi) contain material that promotes bigotry, racism, hatred or harm against any group or individual or promotes discrimination based on race, gender, religion, nationality, disability, sexual orientation or age; and/or (vii) contain unauthorized third-party trademarks or logos.
(e) You represent and warrant that: (i) the Submission does not violate any applicable law, rule or regulation; (ii) to the extent the Submission features the voice or other qualities of any individual, you are the individual heard or otherwise featured in the Submission, or, alternatively, you have obtained written permission from each person featured in the Submission to grant the rights to Sponsor described in these Official Rules, and will make written copies of such permissions available to Sponsor upon request; (iii) the Submission complies with the ElevenMusic Terms of Service, Prohibited Use Policy, and any further ElevenMusic-specific terms presented to you in the product; and (iv) the Submission complies with all requirements of these Official Rules.
“Guidelines and Restrictions” means the requirements set out in this Section through paragraphs (a)-(e), above.
5. Identity of Entrant
All Submissions must be published by the individual entrant from the entrant’s own ElevenMusic account. Bulk or automated entries will be disqualified (including entries made using any script, macro, bot, or promotional service). Multiple participants are not permitted to share the same ElevenMusic account or email account, and each entrant may enter from only one ElevenMusic account. Any attempt to obtain additional entries or Verified Streams through fraud or other illegitimate means will result in disqualification, at Sponsor’s discretion.
In the event of a dispute about the identity of the entrant, entries will be declared made by the authorized account holder of the ElevenMusic account from which the Submission was published. An “authorized account holder” means the natural person who is assigned to the email address associated with the applicable ElevenMusic account by an Internet access provider, online service provider or other organization (e.g., business, educational institution, etc.) that is responsible for assigning the applicable email address. Each potential winner may be required to provide Sponsor with proof that the potential winner is the authorized account holder of the account associated with the winning Submission.
6. Winner Determination; Verified Streams
Following the close of the Contest Period, Sponsor will rank all eligible Submissions by the total number of Verified Streams each Submission received during the Contest Period. The ten (10) eligible Submissions with the highest number of Verified Streams will be deemed the potential winners, ranked 1st through 10th.
A “Verified Stream” means a single playback of a Submission on the ElevenMusic platform that meets all of the following criteria, as measured and determined by Sponsor’s systems:
(a) the listener is a signed-in, registered ElevenMusic user other than the publisher of the Submission (anonymous, self or logged-out plays do not count);
(b) the Submission is played continuously for at least thirty (30) seconds (plays of fewer than 30 seconds, including skips and previews, do not count); and
(c)the playback session is confirmed as completed by Sponsor’s systems (sessions that are never confirmed - for example, where the browser tab or app is closed mid-play - do not count).
Anti-Fraud; Stream Manipulation. Sponsor reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to exclude from any Submission’s count any streams that Sponsor has reason to believe are fraudulent, artificial, incentivized, or manipulated — including streams generated by bots, scripts, or emulators; click or stream farms; purchased, exchanged, or otherwise incentivized streams; repeated automated playback; multiple, shared, or fake accounts; VPN, device, or location manipulation; or any other form of artificial stream inflation — and to disqualify any entrant who engages in, procures, or knowingly benefits from stream manipulation. Sponsor’s determinations as to whether a play qualifies as a Verified Stream, and as to stream validity and disqualification generally, are final and binding.
One Prize Per Entrant. If two or more Submissions from the same entrant rank among the top ten, only that entrant’s highest-ranked Submission will be eligible for a prize; the entrant’s lower-ranked Submissions will be passed over and the next highest-ranked eligible Submissions from other entrants will move up in rank.
Ties. If two or more Submissions are tied on Verified Streams for any winning position, the tied Submissions will share equally the total prize money allocated to the positions they collectively occupy (for example, two Submissions tied for 3rd place will each receive one-half of the combined 3rd and 4th place prizes, and the next-ranked Submission will be ranked 5th).
The number of Verified Streams a Submission receives depends on the number and engagement of listeners; winning depends on the number of eligible Submissions and the Verified Streams each receives.
7. Notification and Verification of Potential Winners
Each potential winner will be notified via the email address associated with their ElevenMusic account following the completion of the Contest Period. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, Sponsor may require each potential winner to sign and return, within seven (7) days of being notified, an Affidavit of Eligibility and Liability/Publicity Release in order to claim his/her prize. If (i) the attempted notification is returned as undeliverable; (ii) any required documents are not returned within seven (7) days, such as the Affidavit of Eligibility and Liability/Publicity Release; or (iii) the potential winner is otherwise unable to accept the prize as stated, the prize will be forfeited and will be awarded to an alternate winner, being the entrant with the eligible Submission having the next highest number of Verified Streams. Up to three (3) alternate winners will be selected for each prize. If, by reason of a print or other error, more prizes are claimed than the number set forth in these Official Rules, the prize(s) will be awarded to the eligible Submission(s) with the highest number of Verified Streams from among all eligible claimants making purportedly valid claims.
Verification of Potential Winner: EACH POTENTIAL WINNER IS SUBJECT TO VERIFICATION BY SPONSOR, WHOSE DECISIONS ARE FINAL AND BINDING IN ALL MATTERS RELATED TO THE CONTEST. AN ENTRANT IS NOT A PRIZE WINNER UNLESS AND UNTIL ENTRANT’S ELIGIBILITY HAS BEEN VERIFIED AND ENTRANT HAS BEEN NOTIFIED THAT VERIFICATION IS COMPLETE AND NO FURTHER ACTION IS NEEDED.

Prize Restrictions: ALL PRIZES WILL BE AWARDED BY SPONSOR TO EACH WINNER. ANY AND ALL TAXES (FEDERAL, STATE, LOCAL, OR OTHER) ASSOCIATED WITH THE RECEIPT OR USE OF ANY PRIZE ARE THE SOLE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE WINNER, AND EACH WINNER WILL BE SOLELY RESPONSIBLE FOR WITHHOLDING AND REMITTING ANY AND ALL APPLICABLE TAXES AND SATISFYING ANY AND ALL APPLICABLE INFORMATION REPORTING OBLIGATIONS ASSOCIATED WITH THE RECEIPT OR USE OF ANY PRIZE.
