The Indie Acoustic Project is dedicated to giving recognition to outstanding works of innovative acoustic (or mainly acoustic) music. The IAP website at http://www.indieacoustic.com also features the past finalists and winners of the Best CDs of the Year Awards, and information about the 50 Best Indie Acoustic CDs of the 1990s.
How to submit:
Send a CD of each title you want considered, along with an email contact address to:
Indie Acoustic Project
570 Union Avenue
Boulder, Colorado 80304
USA
No other material is necessary, although a brief bio sheet may be included. You may submit as many titles as you wish, but only one copy per title is required. There is no charge of any kind for any aspect of these awards.
What qualifies:
Any full-length CD that: (1) has at least some acoustic instrumentation, and (2) has been (or will have been) released for sale to the public during 2014 by any entity other than a major US label. Recordings released by a non-major but distributed by a major label do qualify for consideration, as do recordings that feature electric or electronic instrumentation in addition to acoustic instrumentation.
We will send out a follow-up reminder in early December. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact us at jon@indieacoustic.com.
