Music Video Submission For Contests And Online Viewing

By Christopher Allen


In the past, bands, singer-songwriters and cover designers had to start out on the bottom before making it to the top. Now, with Music Video Submission links, some can become instant artists. While this is the case, not all will become as famous as those whom made their way up the ranks of blues, folk, hip-hop, jazz, rap, rock and roll and soul.

In most cases, the best of the best will not only be nominated for an award but will most likely get attention of promoters. For, whether or not an artist wins an award, there are many who gain the attention of studios and promoters. With work being put before judges ranging from Tom Waits and Aimee Man to Zooey Deschanel and Pete Wentz, these and other notable musicians will no doubt be taking notice.

With all the current clutter on the Internet and airwaves, it can often be difficult to get the undivided attention of studios and promoters. As this is the case, there are now independent labels and artists around the world who submit entries to the IMA annually. It is essential that that individuals review work for quality sound, picture and video before submitting to the IMA. In addition, those submitting design work also need to assure clarity in pictures and spelling with regards to album titles, song titles, lyrics and names of bands and band members.

When it comes to submitting work, there are a number of categories and genres to which artists can submit. While most are music genres, there are also categories related to design and songwriting. In addition, for the first time in history, the IMA are accepting entries of long multi-song videos.

Some individuals may only want to submit work to be viewed and shared without entering a contest. When this is the case, using sites such as YouTube, Facebook Live, Internet Archive, BET and other related sites are often the best option. Whereas, those looking to enter contests can often find listings for ongoing contests by doing an online search using the term music and video contests.

While this is the case, earning an IMA can go along way when it comes to getting a head start on a successful musical career. For, the IMA actively promotes nominees and winners to over fifty million music fans, online and broadcast media, print, music supervisors, talent buyers, programmers and industry gatekeepers.

Promoters, The Planetary Group and HIP Video Promo, also work to assist artists in becoming more well known. For, each of these groups has access to performance opportunities, distribution and promotion. As such, those submitting work often have a better chance of building a fan base while possibly gaining support when it comes to booking shows and working in a studio.

Ultimately, by submitting to more than 50 different genres and design categories through this resource, self-identified talent and independent labels have a chance to be seen and heard. For, even political motivated bands can submit a video for entry in the Social Action Song category. Whereas, artists can also submit to genres including Cover Song, Love Song, Concept Album, Music Video, Gig Poster, Merchandise Packaging, Eclectic Album, Live Album and many others. More information on submissions and genres can be found on the IMA website.
