now hear this uses, in part, common and emerging social platforms and technologies to reach listeners and potential supporters. this includes everything from organized live events to simple email to social networking tools such as Blogger, MySpace and Facebook. while the effectiveness of ones use of such tools can often be minimal at best, we are developing ways to use them which will broaden their reach and effectiveness, and redefine their usefulness. we also personalize all of our efforts: that is, we use insider access, private mediums, and actual people to help spread the word about emerging artists and other nht-seeded efforts. we're not just another business, force-feeding you products and services for and from which you have no interest, reap no benefit, and which are driven by "pay-for-play" models.

while nht is based just outside of los angeles, california and currently carries out most of its seeding activities for the benefit of local seeds, we welcome submissions from all, across the world, and across cultural lines.
