2. What do you mean by sheet music?

If you are a composer of a composition written for film, a PDF of the sheet music is required. This can be the orchestration/arrangement; or if done by electronic means, a lead sheet or chord chart will suffice. Here are some basic examples:

3. I have several film cues. What if my music is longer than 10 minutes?  

Since most music cues average 1 to 2 minutes in length, you can combine excerpts of your best cues and fade them in and out on a single mp3 not to exceed 10 minutes.  For theme song submissions, if your theme song is longer than 10 minutes, just fade it out at the 10 minute mark.

4. Do I have to show proof of ownership when submitting my composition?

Though we do not require physical proof, we do ask you to confirm that you actually do own the song. It is up to you to copyright your music. Visit the Copyright Registry website for best practices on copyrighting your music.
