Search For MCTMG " Artist & Songwriter Of The Year"

MCTMG Radio is conducting a search for the top Artists & Songwriters on our site! We will be offering outstanding awards to both the "Artist & Songwriter Of The Year." Please read the Rules & Awards below:

RULES

• To participate in the Artist Of The Year project all you need to do is have been accepted by our programmers to be aired on our stations. However, you MUST let us know what tune you want us to upload to the evaluation page. If we already have it in our library in your folder we will put it up immediately. If we do not have it just send it to us as shown below.
• If you are a Writer you do NOT have to be aired on our stations but must be a member of the site. You simply send us your tune as shown below and we will add it to the evaluation page on the site.

IMPORTANT LEGAL NOTICE:

By submitting songs to MCTMG RADIO for potential air play or other uses you confirm that the material is yours entirely and/or you have the legal right to offer it for air play or whatever project you are asking to be included in on our site..

If your songs are used on the station(s) they will be used for that purpose and promotional items such as Pod Casts and live telecasting promoting your music and the station. By submitting your music for any purpose you agree that you and/or others will not require additional royalties for any promotional or telecasting of the materials.

Your submission also authorizes us to use your image, bio, and/or other materials necessary to promote you and whatever project you are included in on our stations.

All songs for Artist Of The Year must be an original "production" but not necessarily an original "composition". In other words, karaoke (as much as we like some of it) is not permitted. The product must be a professionally produced one that meets our broadcast standards. Home produced and/or voice over's using synthesizers or midi sounding tracks are not acceptable. Those seeking Artist Of The Year must be approved by our programmers for airplay on our stations.

Evaluation Of Artists For Artist Of The Month & Artist Of The Year:

• Any artist wishing to participate in the Artist Of The Month with the goal of becoming Artist Of The Year may submit up to ONE song for each month's evaluation period that is tagged as the song you wish to have evaluated.
• All songs will be rated on a scale of 1 - 10 by our Preleminary Board to narrow the winners to the top five (5) artists of each monthly evaluation period.
• The final FIVE (5) artists will be evaluated on a scale of 1 - 10 by our Evaluation Board from Nashville, Tennessee & Around the world.
  • These professionals in the industry are people who are themselves successful artists, song writers, producers, agents, and others who are extremely qualified to give us a fair and professional decision on the final winner.
  • No evaluators will know what the others are rating the artists so when we get their ratings here in our office the totals of all ratings will give us a very fair decision as to who the top rated artist for the month or year is.

Where, And How, The Songs Will Be Heard & Evaluated:

• All music will be placed on our Evaluation Page at http://mctmgradio.com/evaluations.htm where our Preliminary Evaluation Board may go to hear each artist & writer as many times as they wish.
