Spinnup is proud to give you the chance to participate in Spinnup Next (“Competition”).

Entrants who submit more than one track will be disqualified from the competition. Entering a new track can take up to 3 days for that track to be “approved” by Spinnup’s systems- please allow enough time before the Entry Period deadline to upload and enter a new track.
