Subject: Att: Cool Opportunity For Unsigned Musicians
Hi,
Just wanted to send you a quick reminder that there is still time (until April
11), to enter the new "Unsigned Only" Music Competition (which is a completely
separate competition from the Unsigned Only category within ISC).
Unsigned Only is a unique new international music competition designed for
solo artists, bands, and singers who are not signed to a major label record
company or any of its affiliates, subsidiaries, or imprints.
Unsigned Only is not a songwriting competition; instead, it is a music
competition with the goal of finding an outstanding, talented performer: a
band, singer, or solo artist...a newcomer or veteran...raw or unpolished - the
diamond in the rough that needs to be discovered. Unsigned Only is looking for
the total package.

Yes, the competition offers great prizes, recognition, exposure, and the
chance to be heard by a group of judges consisting of high-profile recording
artists and industry professionals. But, Unsigned Only also takes it a step
further and puts the Grand Prize winner in direct, personal contact with the
influential record label executives who are the ultimate decision-makers. For
the first time ever, a music competition offers the Grand Prize winner the
unprecedented opportunity to be mentored by a group of record company
presidents, A&R reps, and more. This is a once-in-a-lifetime chance to
directly network with the top echelon of record company professionals and get
guidance, advice, feedback, and networking opportunities.
Categories include: AAA (Adult Album Alternative; AC (Adult Contemporary);
Christian; Country; Folk/Singer-Songwriter; R&B/Hip-Hop; Rock; Pop/Top 40; and
Vocal Performance.
Judging Criteria: originality, songwriting, vocals, performance, and overall
likeability.
All entries must be original music except for the Vocal Performance category
which accepts original or cover songs. Judging criteria in the Vocal
Performance category will be based solely on the quality of the vocals. So, if
you're an artist and you don't write your own songs - or if you do write your
own songs and want to show off your singing - this is the category for you.
Judges include: Cyndi Lauper; Kenny Rogers; Angie Stone; 3 Doors Down; Jeremy
Camp; Charlie Daniels; Manchester Orchestra; Craig Morgan; Robert Smith (The
Cure); Kelly Clarkson; Musiq Soulchild; Aaron Shust; Steve Lillywhite
(Producer); G. Love; Matt and Kim; St. Vincent; The Mountain Goats; Josh
Jackson (Co-Founder and Editor-In-Chief, Paste Magazine); and Scott Lapatine
(Founder/Editor-In-Chief, Stereogum).
Mentors include a group of high-profile record company executives, including
Monte Lipman (President of Universal Republic); Pete Ganbarg (Executive
VP/Head of A&R, Atlantic Records); Jason Geter (President, Grand Hustle
Records); David Wolter (Senior VP of A&R, RCA Records); Josh Bailey (Sr. VP of
A&R, Word Label Group); Kim Stephens (President, Forward Entertainment and
A&R/Capitol Music Group); Trevor Jerideau (VP of A&R, RCA Records); David
Wilkes (VP of A&R, eOne Music); Pete Giberga (Head of A&R, Razor & Tie
Records); and Jason McArthur (VP A&R, Provident Label Group).
