RHYME KEEPERS - CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS
Native Earth Performing Arts is soliciting submissions from urban recording artists and producers of Aboriginal ancestry for inclusion in a compilation recording scheduled for release in Fall of 2006.  

THE PROJECT
In the tradition of passing on hard-earned insights, selected artists will be asked to write a new, original song which has teaching value and is anchored in the following 7 principles: Courage, Generosity, Tolerance, Strength of Character, Patience, Humility and Wisdom.

The focus of this project is to raise the profile of urban Aboriginal artists in Canada and contribute to the professional development of this country’s talented emerging artists.  The completed recording will be widely (non-commercially) distributed with the goal of increasing exposure for Aboriginal performers nationwide.  

All recordings remain the sole property of the creators (and of the Creator).


THE PROCESS
All submissions and support material will be read and reviewed by the Executive Producer.  Submissions are open to Aboriginal creators from across the country.  We are particularly interested in new work that examines contemporary Native challenges and experiences.  Recording will be arranged at a facility local to the selected artists if possible.  Anticipated start date for recording is December 1, 2005.

[*]A bio (or brief introduction of yourself as an artist)
