The U of A’s student-run record label, Hill Records, is once again accepting submissions from artists of all genres to be considered for inclusion on an upcoming compilation EP. The submission period will run through Monday, March 7.

Interested artists can submit one unreleased recording of an original song for consideration by the Hill Records team. Preference during the selection process will be given to Arkansan artists and artists affiliated with the U of A. Submissions themselves will be evaluated based solely on musical quality.

Selected artists will be included on Hill Records’ Spring compilation EP and offered live performance opportunities to promote the project. They will also have the opportunity to work with students studying the music industry for consulting and promotional services.

Additionally, selected artists may elect to purchase further label services from Hill Records, such as digital and traditional media promotion, booking and personalized artist development campaigns.

Instructions for submission can be found at hillrecords.uark.edu/submissions.

Questions regarding submissions and Hill Records’ services should be directed to hillrec@uark.edu.
