Composer Spotlight Nomination Form

Thanks for your interest in our Composer Spotlight series where each week we feature a composer who works primarily in the area of film, television or video games. Submissions are open to any composer in any location, and composers are selected for publication primarily based on what we believe our readers will find unique, interesting, helpful and inspiring. The spotlight article would include your responses to the Q&A interview form below plus your photo.

Please complete the following interview form to submit for consideration for publication in the Composer Spotlight series. Any composer or their representative/agent may complete the form, and there are no requirements other than having written music suitable for film, television or video games. We reserve the right to accept or reject any submissions for any reason, and to edit submissions for length and appropriate language. Please keep your answers brief and do not include any HTML or formatting – plain text only, please. Should your submission be chosen for publication, we will contact you by telephone prior to publication and you’ll be able to view your composer spotlight page prior to publication.

Thanks again for your interest in our Composer Spotlight series. If you have any questions, please contact our customer service department.
