Big Chance for Tri-State Artists!

Doing my usual web surfing like a schizoid-gemini I came across an opportunity that I felt would be fun at the very least. The opportunity would be excellent if you won since its sponsored/run by SEASAC, Brooklyn Industries, Reverb Nation, and The Muse Box. With the possibility of five winners who could walk away with a showcase performance at CMJ, distribution via The Muse Box & EMI Distribution, 2 months publicity and marketing, and more.

I urge all our students to apply and pass on to their friends! Good Luck!
