What song/video/CD/DVD entries are eligible for submission?

Any single song or video from any time period that has not been commercially released by a major mainstream music company and has not achieved or exceeded a status of "Gold" by the RIAA, is eligible for submission into the Native-E Music Awards®. The purpose of this open strategy is to uncover the best past and present musical talent and create opportunities for that talent to be seen and heard by mainstream professionals.

There is a limit of (20) songs and (5) Music Videos, (5) Comedy CDs full-length, (5) DJ Mixtape CDs full-length, (5) Comedy Video/DVD full-length entries per artist/group that may be entered each year, but there is no limit on how many categories each single/multiple entries may be submitted into for nomination consideration. In example, an artist may enter the limit 20 songs, they then have the ability to enter all 20 songs into multiple categories of their choice. This gives the artist/group an exponential increase in the number of submissions they may enter each year.
