THE PROCESS

The process will begin with the channel inviting all music companies to submit entries for Punjabi albums released between January 1, 2007 to December 31, 2007. All entries would be accompanied by 10 Audio CDs as well as music videos [where applicable] on DVD/CD format. These entries will then be screened for eligilibity & category placement by experts.
