Enter the Album Cover Contest and win $500.00.
We are launching a series of Mix Tapes called Eclectic Funk. A compilation of DigOut recording artists singles. The contest will end on May 1st 2014. You will notice when you go to the LISTEN page on our website that the Eclectic Funk v1 Album cover is white. We have left it white, as a canvas for you! We may or may not keep the font so don't let that be a stumbling block. But try to work in the confines of the sound. So take a listen to the music on the Listen page and start to draw. Eclectic Funk is a collection in which we intend to release multiple volumes. And we will hold a contest for each volumes album cover art.

Enter to win the opportunity to create a Music Video with DigOut Records and win $7,500.00.
We will select 20 directors who will have the opportunity to pitch their music video ideas to DigOut Records. We will then select 3 directors and they will compete to win the grand prize of $7,500.00 and have their music video published. All three contestants will be flown to New York City to see the screening of their music video on the big screen. At that time we will reveal the grand prize winner! The runner up may have the opportunity to get their music video published provided the artist like it. (all publications are at the sole discretion of the artist and the record label).
The competition is not an easy one. Here's the catch! All three directors must build a music video on a $3,000.00 budget supplied by DigOut records. The Directors only have a week to shoot and edit their music video. DigOut will be documenting the process of the music videos for TV. So creativity must shine. We will send our documentary crew out to your location. The contestant can pick any song on our site or from an artist on our label to create the music video for. Go to the 'Listen' page on our website to review some of the songs available to be used in this competition.
Send links to samples of your video work to digoutrecordings@gmail.com. We will notify the contestants that have been selected via phone number. Don't forget to include it!
Thank you for your submissions, and Good Luck!
