Music Video Submission And Independent Music Awards

By Christopher Allen


Designers, singer-songwriters and bands used to have to put a lot of hard work, time and effort into becoming well known. Now, with the ability to provide a music video submission to websites such as YouTube, Facebook Live, and others, this is no longer the case. In fact, when having a quality video, artists can also enter contests such as the Independent Music Awards.

The best of the best can now submit entries to the 9th Annual Independent Music Awards also known as IMA. With a stellar line-up of judges, including Pete Wentz, Mark Hoppus, M. War, Zooey Deschanel, Aimee Mann and Tom Waits, there is a good chance that top talent will no doubt get noticed, whether or not winning an award. Besides, few people can say that one has work which has been viewed by such outstanding artists in the field.

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.

Individuals submitting to the awards and other sites often continue to build a live and online fan base. In the process, many are offered private and public gigs and in some cases, studio time. In particular, groups such as HIP Video Promo and The Planetary Group have access to distribute, promote and book artists for a number of large and small scale events.

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.
