Getting nominated for an award is a great way to create more awareness, both with consumers and with other people in the music industry. Worst case scenario, you submit your album and it gets sent to ten people (the judges) who are key music industry people in the genre of music you're submitting for. The deadline for submissions for the CUMAs is August 5th. The eligibility period is July 1, 2004 - June 30, 2005. Hit up www.umac.ca for more info.

Using that a cappella, we're looking for the best remix of the song to appear on Wordburglar's upcoming sophomore album, Burglaritis, which will be distributed across Canada by Urbnet/Outside Music, meaning it should be available in mom & pop record shops as well as HMV and Music World stores across Canada. Another option is to download the a cappella from my soundclick page: http://www.soundclick.com/bands/0/doogi ... _music.htm It's the first track on that page. Now, the Wordburglar Remix Contest's Rules and Regulations: i. Get a copy of the "Wordburglar" a cappella either from the vinyl or through the soundclick page. ii. The only restriction for this remix is that the song must be possible to release, so all samples must be chopped beyond recognition or at least very difficult to identify. The person submitting the winning remix will be asked to sign a contract declaring all samples cleared, so please keep that in mind when entering this contest. iii. Feel free to manipulate the song in any way, and give it your own personal feel and touch. Diversity is key. Jesse Dangerously's smooth remix is a good example of the different direction and feel that can be given to the song. iv. All entries must be submitted on CD to Hand'Solo Records, PO Box 24031, 900 Dufferin St, Toronto, Ontario, Canada M6H 4H6, and post-dated no later than August 15, 2005. Please include on each CD submission an email by which you can be reached. If alternative methods for sending are required, please contact handsolo@handsolorecords.com. v. Only one entry per person, please. vi. All entries will be judged by a specially convened panel of hip hop experts headed by Wordburglar. vii. Winners will be contacted by email before the end of August. viii. The Grand Prize winner will get their remix on Wordburglar's Burglaritis CD, slated for a Fall release, as well as five copies of the CD, a Wordburglar t-shirt, and a copy each of Bassments of Badmen: Volume 2 and Cock Dynamiks. ix. Five runners up will receive a complimentary copy of Burglaritis and get their submission posted on the Hand'Solo website (www.handsolorecords.com) for free download by fans. x.
