Submission rules:
Interpret the theme, send your best work, have fun. Please adhere to the following.
All audio must be original and unreleased in any form
Track length must be no more than 6 minutes. No minimum length.
One submission only per artist, per theme please. Multiple tracks from artists cannot be considered.
Audio can be in wav/aiff formats, labelled with artist name first followed by title. If either is abbreviated due to length make sure you let us know what the full artist name/title is. A clear naming convention uses hyphens and underscores. For example: dogs-versus-shadows-wires_in_the_wall
Upon submission, you provide Grey Clay Radio with permission to broadcast the work whenever it decides to schedule it (including repeat broadcasts) for which no remuneration will be exchanged. This means your submission will remain ‘royalty free’.
