BandRadio.com will select 14 - 15 winners. [Details of the selection process are included in section 6.] If selected, your music will appear on the Volume 5 compilation CD that will be distributed directly to top music industry creative executives in A&R, music publishing, film & TV music as well as artist managers, record producers, music attorneys, radio programmers and more. The CD will also be promoted and sold online and possibly in retail outlets. As a winner, you will receive 10 free copies of the CD that are yours to distribute as you see fit.

Writers retain all rights to their songs and lyrics. Submissions must not contain samples or other copyright infringing elements that require clearance. Profanity will be edited out of songs in order to obtain a slot on the compilation.

Due to the volume of submissions we receive, unfortunately BandRadio.com will not be able to provide "feedback" or "reviews" of individual submissions. CD's or other materials submitted to BandRadio.com for the "Airwaves Volume 5" compilation will not be returned.

Song writer(s) and performers must sign and return an Agreement confirming that the selected song is original, that he/she controls the rights to the song and that he/she consents to its use by BandRadio.com. Signing this agreement gives BandRadio.com permission to duplicate your song for the purpose of including it on the "BandRadio.com Presents: Airwaves Volume 4" compilation CD. At that time, you will also be asked to provide information regarding your performing rights organization affiliation (i.e. BMI, ASCAP, SEASAC, etc) as well as your publishing information. Failure to sign and return the agreement within 10 business days of notification will result in immediate disqualification and an alternate artist/band will be selected.
