HillTop Records
Announces Third Annual Online Music Festival For Songwriters
Hollywood-based music production company HillTop Records
continues its tradition of celebrating and honoring America’s songwriters by
launching its Third Annual Online Music Festival for Songwriters this summer.
Bigger and better than ever, the festival is set to run July 1st,
2013 through Labor Day Weekend.
Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) June 26, 2013
For the third year in a row, HillTop Records will launch its
own high-tech version of a traditional summer music festival – conducted
entirely online! The festival, created to promote and celebrate America’s
up-and-coming songwriters, is completely free to attend and enter. Last year,
the event drew over 300,000 page hits and immeasurable exposure for
participating songwriters. This year, it promises to be even bigger and better
than ever before.
The HillTop Records Online Music Festival for Songwriters is
open to anyone with Internet access. Songwriters may enter their songs (mp3
versions) free of charge, as long as they own the copyright to the song (words
and music.) No instrumentals will be accepted, and the words must be in
English. Each song may be entered in one of five genre categories: Rock, Pop,
Country, Gospel, and Urban/R&B. Prizes of $250 will be awarded to the best
song in each of these five genres, as determined by a panel of expert judges.
Additionally, one songwriter will take home The People’s Choice Award of $500,
and one song will win the Grand Prize Award of $1000 and the Festival Blue
Ribbon.
Each participating songwriter may create his or her own
unique songwriter homepage and link it to personal Facebook, Twitter, YouTube,
and other social networking accounts for promotional purposes. This is to
emphasize the main goal of the HillTop Records Online Music Festival for
Songwriters: to give America’s up-and-coming songwriters the exposure and
support they need to succeed. HillTop Records kindly requests that established
songwriters (those who already make a significant portion of their income from
the songs they write) step aside to allow the event to focus on less well-known
songwriters.
HillTop Records is constantly on the lookout for new avenues
for songwriters. The company maintains a strong online presence, and has
recently redesigned their website – www.hilltoprecords.com.
New features and services include music video production, and the ability to
buy individual tracks for only $1.99 per mp3 directly from the website.
Visitors to the site may also now view video interviews with some real HillTop
Records songwriters.
