WELCOME TO OUR OFFICIAL SUBMISSION PROCESS
Whether you're a lyricist with purpose, a beatmaker with soul, or a band repping the 804, The Richmond Seen wants to hear from you.
We don’t do quick blurbs or copy-paste press releases. Every accepted submission gets a dedicated write-up crafted by a writer who understands the culture, the craft, and the scene.
To honor the time and energy of our all-volunteer staff, we ask for a $30 contribution per accepted submission.
You can donate via CashApp here
How to Submit:

A short artist bio (100 words max)
Where you're based
A photo or cover art (optional but encouraged)
Social handles
Note: Regardless of payment all content needs to be approved by the team before we confirm whether a review is possible.
