Catalog believes in human curation, and we can’t do it alone. In addition to artist submissions curated by the core team, Catalog collaborates with contributing curators to expand the depth of sounds and perspectives on the platform, with the aim of bringing the best music out there to Catalog.

How it Works
Contributing curators rotate in eight week cycles:
- Submission Window
Cycle 4: Past
Prospective curators complete the curator submissions form.
- Submission Review
Cycle 4: Feb 27 - Mar 12
Catalog reviews submissions and selects up to 10 contributing curators for the cycle.
- Contributing Curators Announced & Onboard Artists
Cycle 4: Mar 13 - May 7
Curators are announced on socials at the start of this period and have eight weeks to onboard up to four artists each. Once an artist is onboarded, they may press a record on Catalog at any time.

⚠️ Curators are not required to take a split, but commit to receiving no more than 10% of the primary sale if they reach an agreement with the artist onboarded.
