''SOUND VOLTEX FLOOR'' refers to the group of competitions posted in its website where Japan-based artists can participate in, with a chance of their songs or remixes appearing in the games. Music contests have their own themes and rules, such as remixing a selection of an artist's songs or using synthesized vocals. There are also contests related to designing jackets for brand-new songs or to replace pre-existing ones in the game.<br>

Thanks to the FLOOR contests (and also to the presence of Touhou arrangements), the game quickly gained a lot of success, prompting the production team to focus as much as possible on these in the future. Contest winners may also be invited to provide original songs in SOUND VOLTEX itself or in other BEMANI games (most notably, 5 of the 7 [[beatnation Records|beatnation RHYZE]] members debuted in BEMANI via SOUND VOLTEX FLOOR).

From April 16th to May 15th, 2015, the first SOUND VOLTEX FLOOR contests (for original songs and appeal cards) exclusive to the rest of Asia were held. However, delays in communication between KONAMI, Korean distributor UNIANA and participating artists have resulted in the songs and appeal cards not being added to the game more than a year after submissions ended. (On December 21st, 2016, UNIANA stated on Twitter that it has sent out confirmation emails to all winning artists.)
