Digital Music News warns to read the fine print of the current Tidal contest:

According to the contest’s terms, winning indies will grant Tidal a far-reaching license – one that’s “royalty-free, fully-paid up, transferable, sublicensable,” and covering the world – to use their selected tracks. On the marketing side, an adjacent right extends to the winners’ names, addresses, likenesses, photos, social posts, and “any statements made” about Tidal.

In short, then, post-win Tidal royalties will seemingly be off the table for the chosen songs, and the platform can utilize the appropriate talent’s above-described IP “for advertising and promotional purposes without notice or additional compensation” if so inclined.

“Where applicable and to the extent permitted under applicable law,” reads perhaps the most noteworthy terms section, “you also agree to waive, and not to enforce, any ‘moral rights’ or equivalent rights, such as your right to be identified as the author of your Submission, and your right to object to derogatory treatment of such Submission.”
