Vans Musicians Wanted is the brand’s global music programme that aims to provide a platform for musicians who are just starting out and to make 2020 a bit more bearable, they’re reigniting the competition for the first time since 2015.
The contest series will celebrate fresh, new and “Off The Wall” talent from all genres. For its 2020 global debut, each region around the world will provide undiscovered artists the chance to gain international exposure and the opportunity to share the stage with Grammy award-winning artist, Anderson .Paak.
Additional prizes include Vans product, Fender gear, global music distribution, Spotify and Apple Music playlisting and more!
The programme will launch globally to welcome artists from the United States, Canada, Mexico, Central and South America, Europe, South Africa and Asia-Pacific regions for a chance to share their original music with the world.

Featuring special guest judges as part of the selection process, Vans Musicians Wanted welcomes J.I.D and Bohan Phoenix, artists featured in the Vans latest brand campaign, ‘THIS IS OFF THE WALL’, European based singer-songwriter Nilüfer Yanya, and Grammy award-winning artist, Anderson .Paak to review the Top 5 artists from each region.
Three artists will be chosen to perform at the Vans Musicians Wanted Virtual Concert, to be held this December. One grand prize winner will be selected to receive Vans product, Fender Gear, global music distribution, Spotify and Apple Music playlisting and the opportunity to share the stage with Anderson .Paak as the opening act in 2021.
