Film/TV Opportunities

Submitting your songs to Broadjam Film/TV Opportunities is an easy and effective way to pitch your music to the people who want to license it. Your songs are submitted directly to the music supervisor that provided the Opportunity. Getting your music placed in Film or TV is a great way to add to your list of credits and accelerate your career of creating music, not to mention a good way to make money on license and royalty payments.

• For Primo MoB members, the cost per submission is $5.
• For Pro MoB members, the cost per submission is $10.
• For MoB members, the cost per submission is $15.
• For Mini MoB members, the cost per submission is $25.

Even if you only submit one song a month, you could save quite a bit of money by upgrading your account to the Pro or Primo MoB membership.

Broadjam works closely with music supervisors and supervisor reps that are responsible for selecting music to be placed in film and television projects.

The same person who provides us with a Film/TV Opportunity listens to your music on Broadjam.com from an administrative panel designed specifically for Opportunity Providers. These Providers work to place music in everything from cable TV series to feature films.

Every song you submit shows up on the Opportunity Provider's private administrative panel for consideration. From there, Providers can sort songs by peer review score and metadata to find the right music for their project. When they find the song they want, they contact the artist directly to go through the paperwork. Read on to get in depth explanation of each of these steps.

Once you submit your song, it goes through a peer review process. When the review period opens, everyone that submits a song to a particular Opportunity can return to review each other's songs for that Opportunity.

Broadjam uses peer review so:

• Everyone gets a chance to rate the appropriateness of other songs for the Opportunity
• Opportunity Providers have the ability to sort song Opportunities by peer review score in their administration panels
• You get a chance to see how other artists interpreted the Opportunity description, which could help you write music for future Opportunities

How does peer review work?

Go to your My Submissions page to see if you've submitted to any Opportunities that are in the peer review period. If so, go ahead and start reviewing your peers!

Opportunity Providers have many ways to look at your music. One way is filtering by category, such as Mood, Tempo, Subject Matter, Language, etc. The only way your song will show up in these filters is if you've filled out your song metadata!

Go to your My Songs page and edit each of your songs to make sure you've filled out metadata for each song, so Opportunity Providers can easily find them.

Once an Opportunity has closed, the Opportunity Provider will log in to his or her administrative panel at Broadjam.com to search and listen to music submitted to that Opportunity. The Provider will be able to filter and sort songs by peer review score, his or her own score, or song metadata to find the right song for the project.

When the Provider selects a song for a project, he or she will directly contact the artist that submitted it. Some Providers will also write a review about any song that gets placed, which Broadjam will post on the website. You can get a better idea of what Providers are looking for by reading these reviews.

If your song is picked for the project, the Opportunity Provider will contact you directly. Make sure your contact information is accurately filled out, so it's easy for them to get a hold of you if your song is chosen.

Broadjam is not a party to any contracts you sign with Opportunity Providers.

By submitting a song to a Opportunity, you give the Opportunity Provider permission to present your song to the project's producers and to collect the Master/Sync fee from them on your behalf. Master/Sync fees are generally predetermined by the project's producers and split between you and the Opportunity Provider. Read more details about sync fees in the Opportunities FAQ.

Project producers will not be able to use your song until you agree to license it to them for their particular project. Based upon the specific terms of licensing agreement, in most cases you will receive licensing fees. You may also receive royalty payments over time, depending on the terms of the licensing agreement you sign. Read more about licensing fees and royalty payments in the Opportunities FAQ.

You can always go to your My Submissions page to check the status of your submissions. If the status of one of your submissions is "In Review", then the Opportunity Provider has not yet chosen a song for that project.

If the status of a Film/TV Opportunity is "Closed" and the Provider hasn't contacted you, then your song was not selected for that project. If this is the case, we hope you received good ideas from the peer review process to help you refine your music for future Opportunities!
