ARE YOU LISTENING?

"We Are Listening", creators of The Singer/Songwriter Awards, Lyric Writer Awards and New Music Video Awards, launched its most comprehensive international independent artist campaign. The blitz promotional initiative, dubbed “Breaking the Band”, is modeled on the company’s success with song, lyric and video contests. The concept ties major US music festival appearances, US radio campaigns, booking and touring support, television and film licensing, and print and web media publicity into one, all-encompassing contest prize with an estimated value of $15,000 per artist. Submission details, prerequisites, rules and prizes can be found following the link below. All original, English-language music is welcome.

OK, this is not a remix contest (who cares?) and there's a submission fee of £20 (UK Pound Sterling). The latter is a major minus, but we guess you won't find that a problem if you win this one. "We Are Listening" is a London-based artist and content development group with divisions and assets in artist management, music publishing, and online services and destinations for musicians and music fans. The deadline is the 20th October 2007.
