I connected the music to my script via youtube links.<br /><br />And -- here's where my experience is relevant -- even though it's probably the best thing I've written in screenplay form, everyone is so put off by the music associations (no matter how obscure they be) that I can't even place in a contest with it. My other stuff, which doesn't have nearly the impact, places consistently well above the musical.<br /><br />So the phobia that the movers and shakers have about copyright extends all the way down to the wettest-behind-the-ears $10-a-read contest hack.
