Tracklab - Leavers' Song Competition 2026

We are launching a new competition for 2026 on the 18th of May! The Tracklab Competition will give Year 6 students the opportunity to showcase their creativity and musical skills in teams of 2-6 to create a song about their time at Primary School.

Using tools in Purple Mash, we are looking for the best song writers and music composers to work together as a team to produce a song with at least one verse and one chorus.

We will update this blog once the competition is live on the 18th of May.

Entries close on 29th June, so make sure that you have submitted your entry before 5pm GMT.

What you need to know

Objective:

Teams of 2-6 children from Year 6 to compose an original song on Tracklab to celebrate their time in Primary School.

Ages:

The competition is open to Year 6 pupils only.

Prizes:

Schools and team members have the opportunity to win:

• One year Purple Mash home licence for each member of the team
• A Purple Mash goody bag
• 30 pairs of headphones for the school
• Feature song on YouTube and Purple Mash in the Tracklab Library  

How to enter

Teams of two to six children from the UK & ROI should work together to compose an original song using Tracklab within Purple Mash. The song should feature at least one verse and one chorus. The song can be about whatever you like, but we encourage you to think of memories of Primary School or feelings of leaving school.

Once teams are happy with their song, they should submit it to their teacher for approval. Teachers will be able to submit the songs on the display board within Purple Mash.

Do you intend to enter? Please let us know below so we know to look out for your entry!
