Indie Acoustic Project Accepting Submissions for BEST CDs of 2011 AWARDS

Tim Wenger | November 12, 2011 | 0 Comments

The Indie Acoustic Project is now accepting submissions for our Best CDs of 2011 Awards.

What qualifies: any full-length (25 minutes or longer) CD that: (1) has some acoustic instrumentation, and (2) has been (or will have been) released for sale to the public during 2011 by any entity other than a major US label. Recordings released by a non-major but distributed by a major label do qualify for consideration, as do recordings that feature electric or electronic instrumentation in addition to acoustic instrumentation. We will send out a follow-up reminder in early December. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact us at [email protected].

To be considered for the Awards, you may submit a CD of each title you released in 2011, along with an email contact address. No other material is necessary, although a brief bio sheet may be included. You may submit as many titles as you wish, but only one copy per title is required.

Address submissions to:

Indie Acoustic Project
570 Union Avenue
Boulder, Colorado 80304
USA

Every submission will be given consideration for inclusion in the Awards. Fifteen awards will be given—one per category. The categories are as follows: Acoustic Ensemble, Alt Country, Alternative Rock, Celtic, Instrumental, Latin, Multi-Genre, Progressive Edge; Rock, Roots, Singer-Songwriter (Male), Female Singer-Songwriter (Female), World Music Africa, World Music Eurasia/Global Beat, and Best Lyrics. Consideration for, and inclusion in the Awards is a public service of the Indie Acoustic Project, and as such, there is no charge of any kind for any aspect of these awards. All decisions regarding any aspect of the site and Awards will be made solely at the discretion of the Indie Acoustic Project and will be final. All submissions must be postmarked no later than December 31, 2011.

The Indie Acoustic Project is dedicated to giving recognition to outstanding works of innovative acoustic (or mainly acoustic) music.
