Wondering if you should enter VerbicideMagazine.com’s 2011 Unsigned contest? Maybe a word from Annie Bethancourt, who was the Judges’ Choice winner in last year’s contest, could help you decide:
When you picked me last year as the 2011 Unsigned Artist, I was over the moon. And not because I got all sorts of kick-ass music goodies (though I do love me some goodies), but because I felt like a high school uber-nerd turned Prom Queen, clutching her flowers and crown whilst sobbing “You like me! You REALLY like me!”
Verbicide, you made me validated in making the music I make. You made me feel encouraged and supported and championed, like you’re ON MY SIDE. And I really, really, love that about you, because I know you make other artists feel the same way all the time. And that’s awesome.
So thanks for doing what you do.
Your friend,
Annie Bethancourt
Annie recently recorded a brand new song — and she did it on the Baby Taylor guitar that she got at Sam Ash with the gift certificate she won as part of her prize package.
A new prize has been added to the Judges’ Choice package! The winner of the Judges’ Choice award will receive 12 hours of tracking, mixing, and mastering services courtesy of MetroSonic in Brooklyn, New York.
