On this page, we briefly explain the next steps to help you participate in our distributions as quickly as possible so that you receive your money.

Your next steps with GVL

1. Register on the online portal for performers

Once you entered into a rights administration agreement with us, you will receive access details to the GVL online portal, meine.gvl. After that, you can logon with your contract number and choose your own password.

2. Submit contribution notifications on meine.gvl

You need to notify us of your contributions to artistic productions via the online portal meine.gvl. To do this, search the relevant productions in our database and enter the nature of your contribution in the online form. Productions are always shown from the middle of the following year after the broadcast on the portal (more info on this in our FAQs).

3. We check the notifications

GVL verifies your notifications and may ask for evidence. We also match the usages of productions on the radio and TV with the contribution notifications of performers.

4. The production must have been played on the radio or on TV

GVL distributes remuneration to performers on the basis of minutes per recording with reported broadcasts by the channels. This means: the higher the rate of exploitation of your recordings by radio and TV stations, the higher your remuneration entitlement.

5. Wait for distribution dates and receive remuneration

GVL distributes monies to its rights holders on a regular basis. In the overview of payout schedules, you can check which distribution run is planned and when.

Note for self-marketers

We recommend that self-marketers, i.e. creatives who market themselves via their own “artist owned record label”, also enter into a rights administration agreement with GVL as producers. Otherwise, they might lose out on remuneration due to them as part of their label activities. There is more info on GVL on our website for producers of sound recordings.
