The submission process is simple for the music stages - send a CD or a press kit or a bag with some stuff in it to the Programmers, and we'll go from there. Here's the Music Submission Form - fill it out, put your $10 in, and we'll get your submission in the works. You are not required to fill the room, there is no requirement that you sell any amount of tickets - if the music is in the right groove for the 2O1O GIFF, we'll try and fit you in. Send all material to: Festival Programmers,1533 live oak drive, silver spring, MD 20910

Experimental music, film scores, live acoustic singers, songwriters... we'll welcome all amazing styles and forms and celebrate the medium and celebrate the creativity...

As of October 1, the MUSIC STAGES ARE NOW CLOSED - we had over 200 entries for bands, songwriters, performers of all kinds for just 8 - 10 spots... and now we begin the selection process which we all detest... we wish there was room for everyone!... and we are working on it!!

Thank you to everyone who sbmitted!!
