FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. – Hill Records, a University of Arkansas student-run label, is now accepting submissions from musical artists now until March 5 for consideration in the label’s inaugural artist release.

Submissions of all genres are encouraged and are limited to one 10-minute recording per artist. Submissions from artists from all locations are being accepted, with preference given to artists from the state of Arkansas or who have an affiliation with the U of A.

Participating artists must control ownership of the recording and songs embodied on their submitted recording. Submissions should be mastered or fully mixed original recordings.

Selected submissions will receive a five-year exclusive licensing agreement for use of their recording; have the opportunity to appear at selected live events during the course of promotion; and have the opportunity to purchase artist-development services that include, but are not limited to, social media marketing, booking, management, directional assistance and traditional media promotion.

Hill Records is a multi-unit collaborative project funded through a grant from the U of A’s Chancellor's Fund for the Humanities and Performing Arts. The label’s student team will evaluate all submissions and selections will be made solely based on artistic merit.
