Partnerships have included retail partnerships with iTunes and Amazon, other commercial music websites, and with music contests and services. Our music contests and award events have supported good causes and charities worldwide with over $2,000,000 in sponsorships, prizes and support awarded to artists and students to help them with their music careers.
