Submissions to SaskMusic
We want to know what you've got going on! Even if we follow your socials, we (and other media folks) don't see or catch everything you post.
- Please add info@saskmusic.org to your email news lists. And in turn, please make sure you're subscribed to our SaskMusic E-release so you get all our news, deadlines, etc.
- Make an artist profile in our Directory and populate your profile (also applies to studios and music businesses!) Just login to your account here (or Join, for as little as "free"), then add songs, videos, news releases and descriptions. This content feeds into various areas of our website.
- We ask for downloadable copies of albums/singles so they can go into our permanent archive - accompanied by a high-res graphic, and one-sheet including credits. You can email this to info@saskmusic.org or here's a submission form.
Featured Videos, Singles, and EPs/Albums for our social media and e-release
Have you recently released or will soon be releasing an official single, music video, or album, in any genre? Please let us know your release date and/or other activities for potential promotions.
Fine print: You don't have to be a member of SaskMusic to submit for a feature, although we do prioritize members for spots. The selection of features is at the sole discretion of SaskMusic staff and will be based on quantity and quality of submissions, and a rotating diversity of genres. Not all releases submitted will be featured. To promote as many different artists as possible, we try to not feature one artist repeatedly in the same 3 month window. Exceptions will be made when the artist has been selected for official showcases, SaskMusic events or other newsworthy/key events.
Singles (music only): Recently released singles that the artist is currently promoting to the public (i.e. you've sent it to radio, or it's your current social media focus track).
- Please email us the MP3 or provide a download link for the song. We require your permission to post the song in our radio player as a streaming file. OR, add the song directly into your Sask Music Directory listing.
- A promotional photo of the artist
- Link to the artist's main webpage (and/or main social media profile)
Videos: Should be a recently released "single" professional quality video which the artist is currently promoting, whether live concert, livingroom session or storyboard format. We are not promoting video blogs, lyric videos, or teaser videos at this time.
We need:
- A link to somewhere the video may be viewed by the public (i.e. YouTube or Vimeo)
- Link to the artist's main webpage (and/or main social media profile)
We select in advance, so let us know your release dates as soon as possible to get onto the consideration list.
Albums/EPs/News
Please submit your news and albums for potential features.
Artist and studio news may be included on our website, and can include a photo and web address. Are you going into the studio? Got a big tour planned? Leading a workshop? Win an award, get selected for a showcase, add a new band member? Give us the scoop.
New album releases for Features consideration. We need a copy of the entire EP/album which will go into our music library, along with a one-sheet or short write-up about the album (6-8 sentences), and list of credits. You may be selected for promotions on our social media, included in our year-end "Best Saskatchewan Albums" promotion, etc.
What we don't post: "Sales"-type ads (ie gear for sale, or business service promotions not tied to a membership discount); Go Fund Me type promotions; items not directly relatable to the music industry. This is not a complete list.
Items from artists/businesses outside of Saskatchewan are considered on a case by case basis.
Please note SaskMusic member news is given priority.
