2010 Changes to the Work Sample Submission Process

In an effort to save costs and increase efficiency, MAP is gradually moving to an upload-only work sample review process. As a step in that direction, this year we are requiring applicants to submit audio and video work samples in two formats: 1.) a hard-copy DVD or Audio CD disk mailed to our office; and 2.) a video or audio clip uploaded to a public website. Detailed instructions follow.

We understand that this adds some time to your job of applying. We thank you in advance for your patience as we carefully move into the technology that will allow us to serve you better in the future.

All Lead Artists or Ensembles are required to submit a work sample.

Labeling Work Samples

Please see labeling instructions in the graphics on the right column of this page. Note, your 4-digit application ID can be found on the Review & Print page of your online application.

For electronic files, please include the 4-digit ID in all filenames. For music files, include the your ID nubmer in the metadata as well.

Mailing Work Samples

Work Samples must be post marked by midnight January 19th, 2010.

Before mailing your samples, be sure that:
  • Your work samples are labeled according to the instructions on this page.
  • Your package clearly states the name of the Applicant Organization.
  • If you want your samples returned, you have included a SASE. Envelopes must use stamps, not meter strips, which will expire before we are ready to return your samples.

Package your work samples carefully and mail them to:
