Writers retain all rights to their songs and lyrics. Our compilations are merely a tool for your exposure and a spot in your ongoing portfolio and/or list of accomplishments. We only allow one band per submission. Please make sure that the song you want on the compilation is clearly marked if your disk contains more than one song. If you wish to submit additional bands, a separate submission form and separate fee are required. Agents or Managers can combine multiple submissions in one package and pay with a single payment as long as each band completes a separate submission form.  We DO NOT return your material.  Please make sure that each submission is clearly marked with all contact information as we will contact you by telephone or email upon completion of the compilation.  Make sure that you take note of the deadline for your compilation as we will not accept any music for that disk once that date has past.  Check the website often for updates, as these compilations tend to fill up quickly.  We will return any submissions received and monies received if a compilation has already been filled or if the project has been cancelled for any reason.
