Hennessy/Spin Magazine Music Contest




















Spin Hot Pursuit Overview

ENTRY

The first step is pushing enter at the top of this page. So far, so easy. Next, make sure that you have already uploaded at least one piece of media on your profile page. You will need to designate one (and only one) song from your page as your official entry into Spin Hot Pursuit 2, so you've gotta have something uploaded. To designate which song you'd like to enter into the competition, simply hit the select media button, which will only appear after you hit the enter button. Got it?

VOTING

The votes occur in three phases. Phase one requires you to really rally the troops. Get the word out to your fans during this initial phase to click on your Music Nation profile page and then cast their votes for you. However, please note that each voter can only vote for a single artist a maximum of once per day -- so you may have to do some daily rallying. From there, Music Nation will place the top 500 vote-getters into the head-to-head player. Voting during this phase will involve fans choosing between randomly generated head-to-head battles. The fringe benefit for fans? New music to discover. The added bonus for those in the competition? New fans to impress. The third phase is the…

GRAND FINALE

For the final voting phase, Music Nation will send the top 20 vote-getters, along with 4 "Tastemakers’ picks" that we select weekly from the entries we think might have been overlooked, and send those 24 acts to a special panel of judges. The Grand Prize winner will receive a sweet record contract, two brand-new Gibson guitars, coverage on Spin.com and a playing slot at Spin's "Year-In-Music" Event. A second winner — the act with the highest rating from the head-to-head round — will also walk away with a cool $500.
