Can I submit a public domain title?

Can I submit a public domain title?

Public domain titles are permissible for distribution on Findaway Voices, but existing public domain performances may not be submitted by anyone but the original performer. 

In short, this means that you cannot submit someone else's public domain title performance, but you may submit an original recording of a public domain title, provided that title meets our asset quality guidelines.

As a general rule, the title will need to be in the public domain worldwide, as we require all titles submitted through Findaway Voices to have worldwide rights.
