  1. 1. You must be an actively performing community group.  
  2. 2. You must not limit membership to those belonging to specific clubs, religions, leagues, race, school, any other kind of limiting factor.  Although you should not limit a person by race, in the event of cultural music it is understood that most people involved likely share a similar cultural background and that would be acceptable.
  3. 3. No individual will be profiting from the project.  Some exceptions may apply, such as hall rentals, catering if you wish to provide food during the recording and other such expenses where an outside person or company is paid for supporting services.
  4. 4. The CD can only contain 10 songs
  5. 5. The overall recording process must be done in two consecutive days.  10 hours or less on day one and 5 hours or less on day two
