The ADCOLOR® Awards is a program that honors outstanding diverse professionals at the junior, mid and senior levels in each segment of the advertising, marketing and media industries. This is your best chance as an artist to get in front of the influential players in the industries that make decisions on TV commercials, webisodes and other ad platforms where your music could receive mass exposure.
The music will be placed on a USB jump drive or CD and will be accompanied by a booklet including artists specific infomation and photos. Some of the music in the compilation will be featured throughout the event, utilized for introducing award categories and transitional cues. Additional USB drives or CDs may be given away at events related to the awards show thereafter. On top of that, artists will be profiled with a dedicated page of the ADCOLOR.org website. The artist's music, EPK, web site, and other information will be highlighted on this page to bring extra exposure to the selected acts. Artists may receive direct feedback on their music from industry influencers.
Songs should relate to the idea of "As you rise up, reach back", "paying it back", "paying it forward", working hard, fulfilling a dream, self-improvement and anything else that is generally inspirational and positive. All genres are accepted.
