🎤 LIVE CLUB vs. CLUB SONGWRITING
COMPETITIONS
🧠 Concept
Two (or more) Collabtunes locations go head-to-head in real-time
Songwriting prompts are given live (word, theme, object, emotion)
Musicians at each location create full songs on the spot with audience input
Each location streams their performances
Viewers vote for a winner (online or live audience ballot)
⚔️ Format Styles
“Whose Lyric Is It Anyway?”: comedy/improv-style short songs
Speedwriting Rounds: write and perform in under 10 minutes
One Word Challenge: songs must center around a single unexpected word
Hook vs. Verse: one city writes the hook, the other the verse
Flip the Genre: write a punk song like it’s a lullaby, etc.
Anonymous Lyrics: everyone uses the same lyrics but doesn't know it
Guest Judge Nights: famous musicians or influencers decide who wins
