2016 Artist Submissions Are Open

Written by Mike Walbert | Mar 21

We have once again partnered with our friend at Sonicbids to find artists for 2016 A3C Festival.

Artist submissions for FREE, until July 31st.  

How to Submit: [SUBMIT HERE]

Step 1) Create a Sonicbids Account [HERE]

Step 2) Submit to A3C Festival for Free

Step 3) Wait to hear back from A3C

Step 4) Perform on Hip-Hop’s Biggest (if selected)

If you want to perform at A3C, submitting via Sonicbids [or being book on a showcase] is the only way!   No staff except emails for submisisons.

We have been working with Sonicbids since 2006.  We joined Sonicbids because the A3C team emails were being filled with requests to perform, and EPKs.  Sonicbids provided A3C with a platform to find great artists without spending ALL of our time trying to navigate an inbox full of artists info.  Now we are able to scout talent all in one place and compare artists on a level playing field.

Since 2006 we have discovered some amazing artists through Sonicbids submissions, including: Young Thug, Trinidad James, Rhymefest, Ca$h Out, Que, Black Sheep, Tanya Morgan, CJ Fly of Pro Era & Propaganda... to name a few.

We take artists submissions very seriously and do our best to find the most talented, unique and promising artists from around the world... that's probably why people have such nice things to say about us...
