Compose your way to $10k IN Indiana. The Indiana Destination Development Foundation (IDDF) and Lt. Gov. Suzanne Crouch invite musicians to capture the fun and excitement of our state in the form of a musical jingle and win $10,000. 

"Indiana is a state full of creativity, and we are thrilled to invite musicians to showcase their talents," said Lt. Gov. Crouch, chair of IDDF. "This contest is a unique way to celebrate Indiana while highlighting the excitement of all that our state has to offer."

All contestants must be 18 years of age or older and a resident or native of Indiana or a graduate of an Indiana institution of higher learning. All federal, state and local laws and regulations apply. Deadline for submissions is Nov. 4, 2024, 11:59 p.m. ET. Individual musicians may submit only one jingle, however, an individual musician may also be part of an ensemble submission. Companies are not eligible to submit. The selected winner will be notified and receive $10,000.

"We are excited to tap into Indiana's rich musical talent with this contest and give Indiana musicians a chance to compose the spirit of our state," said Elaine Bedel, Secretary and CEO of IDDC. "Capturing the essence of Indiana is no small task and we are looking forward to hearing how Indiana's artists use their creativity to bring lyrics to life in a jingle."

Selection Process and Criteria

All submissions will be reviewed by a panel. The panel will select the finalist based on the extent to which the jingle meets the following criteria:

  • Reflects core pillars of the IN Indiana brand - Review the Free Campaign Kits!
