2. Writers may submit multiple songs, but each submission
must be designated for one specific category. You may submit
the same song for more than one category, but it must be treated as
a separate submission. There must be a
separate release form and processing fee for each
song/category combination.
3. Songs must be appropriate to the theme of the
compilation, as determined by CSA. (please specify which theme you are submitting for).
Songs included on a past CSA CD compilation may not
be submitted again, except in the case of new and
different arrangement of the song, e.g. by a different artist, or
different style, or significant re-write.
4. Songs must be professionally produced, to CD-ready,
radio-ready quality, (this can be done on a home studio as long as it sounds
professionally mixed, equalized, and mastered). and the songs must be well crafted as determined by CSA. MP3 files are not acceptable. Submissions must be on CD.
5. There is a $12 non-refundable processing fee for each
song submitted, payable to CSA .
