Helpful Hints

• When submitting a CD, suggest the three most appropriate songs on the disc to be reviewed.
• One page with bio, press and contact info is usually sufficient. If you are selected, additional promotional materials may be requested.
• when submitting INCLUDE video links, please.
• October is probably the best time to send a kit for the coming year.
• If you have applied in the past and have not recorded anything new, don’t send another cd. Sell it instead. We have your other one here.

Bonus Points

• A list of workshop possibilities.
• A recent live recording.
• Remove the shrink-wrap from the CD. If in a jewel case, remove from jewel case and send with the booklet.
