The Independent Artist Registry is a talent scouting service for over 100 of the nations top record labels. Its goal is to find and promote the USs top independent artists to a quarter million music industry professionals, including those A&R reps. The IAR evaluates artists in four categories and only selects the best artists for induction into the Registry.
Membership in the IAR is based on the artist's talent and potential to succeed. Artists do not pay for the review of their materials, and cannot buy their way into the registry. Each artist who submits their materials is evaluated by the same music professional, and receives a detailed critique of their materials along with their review score.
Three times a year the IAR selects an IndiE Award winner. That artist is declared the top independent artist in the country and has their demo sent to 100+ of the top record label A&R reps . The artist also receives: 1,000 CDs replicated for free, a one year endorsement deal, has their CD promoted to 300 radio station's by Space 380 ( www.space380.com ), is the subject of a feature article in a national music industry publication, a dedicated page on the IAR website, a one year Broadjam primo MoB membership along with national radio and print publicity.
In addition to the IndiE Award winner, the IAR selects a maximum of 300 artists for induction into the IAR. Those artists receive; a one year endorsement deal, a dedicated page on the IAR website, an artist listing alongside 3,000 major label artists in the nations top music industry magazine, a detailed review of their submission, a six month membership to Broadjam , and has their one page summary sent to the 100+ participating record label A&R reps.
