CONGRATULATIONS TO THE FOLLOWING 2011 MOUNTAIN STAGE NEWSONG CONTEST REGIONAL FINALISTS
After a thorough review of an unprecented number of entries in this year’s regional rounds, we’re happy to announce the following regional finalists.
You can learn more about these artists by visiting the regional round pages in the contest section of our website. By next Friday, we’ll have videos from all of our regional finalists posted on our site, where folks can vote for their favorite artist in each round. For music fans, it’s a fun way to ‘discover’ great new talent. And for the finalists, you’ll be introducing your music to thousands of new fans. At the end of the voting process, the regional finalist with the most votes is selected as our ‘People’s Choice’ finalist and gets to advance to the live performance finals competition here in New York City on October 20, 2011 at the World Financial Center’s Winter Garden.
In the meantime, our judges will begin the tough task of selecting one regional winner for each round, who then also advances to our final round as their region’s representative.
Thank you to everyone who participates in this process, most especially the talented artists who submit. Your dedication to your craft continues to inspire and entertain us.
