Submit your music to White Knight Worldwide Media (BMI) and MusicOpps.com, who are selecting holiday tracks for public performance playlist inclusion in high-profile retail mood music outlets. Songs do not necessarily have to be specifically holiday-themed lyrically or musically, but can also be generally positive, uplifting and family-friendly to capture the spirit of the holiday season. Music selected by sound designers at the network will be played across popular national indoor and outdoor mall chains, national retail shops, restaurant chains, fashionable retail plazas and well known big box retailers. Holiday tracks will begin airing late Fall and will continue until Dec. 31.

All tracks that match the submission criteria will then be passed along to sound designers for consideration into their libraries. If selected by the sound designers, White Knight Worldwide Media will then provide usage agreements for rotation and request all necessary metadata, WAV files and information to pass to the sound designers for inclusion and compensation. White Knight Worldwide Media may even pass along contact information so that artists have direct communication with sound designers/retail rotation staff and administration teams to ensure all royalty and compensation/metadata information and tracks are delivered properly and in a timely manner. There are no additional fees once an artist is selected, only the submission fee listed below.
