The deadline for NoteRunner Launch is fast approaching!  Just a few weeks left  to refine those songs!  You can send in videos as early as you’d like and don’t have to wait until August 15.

YouTube has changed processes for uploading videos to a channel so you cannot email the channel directly.  To upload your videos you need to upload the video to YouTube and send us a link to your YouTube video.  We will pull your video in and display it on our website and YouTube channel.

HOW TO UPLOAD VIDEOS FOR THE ONLINE NOTERUNNER CONTEST

1.  Upload video to YouTube.  For instructions on uploading videos to YouTube click here.

Please use the following format to title your video:  NoteRunner – Name of song by name of artist- category-name of participant.  Example:  NoteRunner – A Mother’s Tear by Jason Tonioli – intermediate – Jen Butikofer

2.  Email the link to your YouTube video to Support@NoteRunner.com.  Please include Name of song,  artist- category, and name of participant in the subject line of your email.  Use the same format used for the title of your YouTube upload.

Our artists would love to get your feedback on the songs you have been working on.  Please take a minute to write a review for the song you’ve been learning at www.NoteRunner.com.  Find the song on the site and scroll down to write a review.  You’ll also need to be signed in to do this.  Thank you for giving a boost to our independent artists and the songs they have written – and helping us jumpstart the NoteRunner community.
