How to Enter Maine’s Credit Unions ‘Sound Off’ Third Annual Music Competition

'Young & Free Maine' from the Maine’s Credit Unions is again asking to hear from Maine musicians ages 18-25 through their 'Third Annual Sound Off Music Competition!' You need to hurry though, the deadline is coming up on Jan 27. The contest will be open to individuals, groups or artists statewide.

Lauren Reeves, Maine’s Young & Free Spokester, joined us on the Moose Morning Show and said, "'Sound Off' is a unique opportunity for musicians to tell their story and share their passion, while fans get to weigh in by voting for their favorite."

'Sound Off' entrants must be between 18-25 years of age (in the case of bands, at least one member must be ages 18-25), and must not be under a recording contract. Entrants will submit an audio or video recording of them singing or performing original music to a special page on the Young & Free Maine website. From Jan. 29 to Feb. 12, the public will vote to choose the top 5 artists and/or bands! A live performance audition for the finalists will take place on Feb. 21.

The Grand Prize winner will receive a $1,000 gift certificate to Main Street Studios in Bangor. The grand prize winner will also be awarded a spot to perform live on at the KahBang Music Festival, held in August in Bangor. Prizes will also be awarded to the 1st and 2nd runners up.
