Beneath the circus tent so grand,
Imagination takes its stand.
Acrobats with graceful flight,
Jugglers weaving patterns bright.

Clowns with laughter, pure delight,
Turn our days from dark to light.
Daring feats that make us cheer,
Moments filled with awe and near.

Energy that never dies,
Magic under open skies.
A tapestry of joy and thrill,
Wonders that our hearts fulfill.

In this realm of endless play,
Ordinary fades away.
Timeless acts that stir the soul,
Inspiring dreams to make us whole.

The challenge

In this challenge, we invite you to choose a circus character you identify with, or you can take this test to discover which circus character suits you best.

Next, you will need to compose the soundtrack that would be played during your circus act!

  • In the description of your score, let us know which character you are and add a description of your act.
  • We will not accept collaborations this time.
  • The song must be 1-3 minutes long. We know this is a very limited time but we're getting so many submissions lately, we want to make sure we can carefully review each of them❣️
