Frequently Asked Questions

Can I submit more than one song?
Yes, you can submit up to three songs for any contest period. Can I submit songs to different genre categories?
Absolutely! You can submit your three songs to any combination of genre categories. For example you can submit three songs to one specific category like Folk/Acoustic. You can also submit one song to "rock", one to "pop", and one to the "country" contest – or two in one category and one in a second category. You get the picture! Do I have to submit online? Can't I just send a cd to you?
Indie International is completely online. Song submissions must be done online exclusively through the Indie International website. This is what makes us unique! We do not have an option to send in song submissions through the mail. Can I use SonicBids to enter?
No, we do not work with SonicBids for song entries. What method of payments do you accept?
We accept payments with Visa, MasterCard, American Express, Discover, e-checks, debit card, or your PayPal account. All payments are submitted securely via PayPal, however, it is not necessary to have an account set up with PayPal. It’s easy and secure! How will I receive my song critique?
After the winners are announced, you will be able to log into your account and see your personalized song critique. You can then print it out or refer to it again at any time just by logging into your account. It will permanently stay in your file. Do I have to set up an account profile to submit?
Yes. It's easy. Not only will you be able to submit your songs after you set up you profile, but we will set up your personalized SONGWRITERS PROFILE on the Indie International website that will stay there permanently so others can check out your songs and/or submit a review to be posted to your profile. Will I have to set up a new profile for the next contest?
Absolutely not! You will be able to log in to your existing account and make a song submission with that account for any future contest. What if I have a co-writer for my next entry?
You can log into your existing account and create a NEW profile under the same user name. This way, you and your partner(s) can submit songs under this new shared identity – complete with a bio and picture that reflects your songwriting team. When will winners be announced?
Winners will be notified approximately 4-5 weeks after the current contest has closed. For example, winners of the contest that is closed to new submissions on February 28th, 2010 will be notified the first week of April. Details on redeeming and receiving their prizes will be detailed at that time. Within a week after private notification, all contest winners will be posted to the www.indieinternational.com website on the WINNERS page and announced on our newsletter.

Additionally, all first & second place winners will be showcased on the FRONT PAGE of our site.
