Song Competition Guidelines

We are looking for songs expressing a social issue. Any issues that matters to you. We want you to use the power of music — as only art can — to help illuminate the issue and touch hearts or minds. Any music genre you choose.

Upload a video of your song to www.youtube.com/whatsyourissuemusic. Upload the video of the song as a “Post a Video Response” to our main video at www.youtube.com/whatsyourissuemusic. You can enter as many videos or songs as you want, as long as they are original. We will review entries, and may contact you to send your video to us directly so we can also feature it on the channel.

Music must be an original composition, for which you must hold all rights. Open to anyone 14 to 24.

We prefer a video performance of the song because the winner will be flown to Los Angeles to perform the song at the 2010 What’s Your Issue Awards Ceremony co-hosted by Sony Pictures Studios, and will be eligible to perform at the annual NAMM Show for 85,000 music industry professionals in January 2011.

Please email us at editor@whatsyourissue.tv with any additional questions.

Oh, and by the way ….

We also want to flag NAMM’s upcoming Wanna Play? Music Week:
