Who can approve?
FRWRD reviews master control, writers, publishers and any third-party material.
FRWRD / THE WAY FORWARD
OPPORTUNITY STARTS WITH CLARITY.
Music for picture needs both master and composition clearance. Creative fit is a starting point, not permission to license.
Distribution and Publishing Administration are separate choices. A request does not enroll you or sign an agreement. FRWRD currently offers sync consideration through its Publishing Administration program. An affirmative Publishing Administration request is required to enter that workflow; the request does not enroll a service, grant rights or approve a license. Consideration and any license require the appropriate current composition authority and, where a recording is used, master-use authority. Existing co-owner, publisher and administrator rights must be respected. Your signed agreements control fees, shares and terms. FRWRD records partner updates from staff-reviewed evidence; the platform is not a live partner connection. No pitch, license or placement is guaranteed.
Get useful assets ready
Instrumental, clean and stem versions can help when available. No upload or asset means no claim that it is ready.
Human review, every time
Sync consideration requires affirmative FRWRD Publishing Administration for the composition. Distribution is optional. A request guarantees neither a pitch, license nor placement.
Service scope and partner updates
Distribution is optional. Sync consideration requires affirmative FRWRD Publishing Administration enrollment, current composition authority and rights clearance. Your approved agreements control fees and shares. ACTS partner progress is recorded manually; no live partner connection is implied.
Publishing and Sync requests
No. Sync consideration requires FRWRD Publishing Administration. Distribution remains optional. The app asks you to affirmatively add Publishing + Sync; it never enrolls you silently.
