Frequently asked questions
What music opportunities does CozyJobs list?+
Grants and awards for musicians and composers, composition contests, and pitch calls from music publications commissioning writing about music. Auditions and performance casting are out of scope.
Can music writers use this page?+
Yes — a large share of listings are pitch calls from music outlets paying for criticism, features, and reported pieces about music, alongside funding programs for working musicians.
Where do these opportunity listings come from?+
Opportunities are aggregated daily from publishers' and organizations' own submission pages and portals, plus curated editorial sources. Filters remove explicitly unpaid calls and automatically reject contests whose entry fee outweighs any stated prize, and our curators investigate listings readers report. We can't verify every organization, so confirm the details on the organizer's own page before you apply or pay an entry fee.
Why is the organization name hidden on some listings?+
Browsing titles, deadlines, award amounts, and entry fees is free. The hosting organization and direct submission link are unlocked with a paid CozyJobs membership — that curation is what the subscription funds. Plans start at $25/month; see cozyjobs.com/pricing.
How often are these pages updated?+
Continuously. New opportunities are ingested throughout the day, deadlines are monitored, and listings are removed automatically when their submission window closes.
