Ever Wanted to Make Your Own Custom Alert Sound?

We always knew we had a creative community, but once we heard the most adorable on-call tale there ever was, we wanted to see what else our users could make.

We’re excited to announce our first-ever custom alert sound contest! Beginning September 21, 2015, we will accept submissions for a chance to be included as an alert sound in our mobile app. We have a great community, and we want to see them get creative. Or ironic. Or immature. Songs, clever noises, avant-garde recordings of one hand clapping – all are welcome. Send us your best creation.

Submissions will be accepted from September 21 – October 2. Voting will run from October 5-8. The winner will be announced at AWS re:Invent in October and included in the November release. Send your submissions to pickyourpage@pagerduty.com.

In addition to having their alert noise added to the app, the winner of our contest will receive a Jambox . Every person who votes in the contest will also be added to a drawing for one of two custom Jamboxes. May the best alert noise win!

Alert sounds can be a maximum of 30 seconds in length, but keep in mind that the best sounds are short and sweet. And make sure it’s something you own the rights to; no stealing, please. Happy creating, guys! #pickyourpage
