Word is quickly spreading about our upcoming festival, and we’re starting to receive a lot of interest from artists, managers & agents regarding the available slots. As we are not formally announcing the festival until January/2008, we are caught a bit off-guard and not quite ready for the rush of interest.

The public interest is very exciting, and we’re looking forward to hearing from everyone.

In order for us to effectively manage submissions, we are using SonicBids as our primary system for accepting, tracking and responding to inquiries. We’ve discovered that the flood of manilla envelopes is really ineffective, particularly when our review team is spread across multiple cities and states. CDs get lost, not everyone is able to review the materials, and it generally becomes a train wreck.

Artists & agents are encouraged to review our event description at www.sonicbids.com/Chattahippie, and if you feel that you are a compelling fit, then we would like to hear from you.

Please note: unrequested physical mail submissions and phone calls are strongly discouraged, and will have a negative impact on our review process. We HATE to throw away CDs, press kits, and other materials; if we feel that we need to speak with you, or hear a bit more of your music, we will contact you by telephone to discuss the opportunity.

Thanks for your cooperation!
