13 February 2007 - Electronic Arts are turning to the public once more to create the soundtrack for its Burnout racing games. Signing a deal with MySpace, the companies have today announced an international search for the hottest new bands in the United States and Europe, in collaboration with Virgin Records and Epiphone. Open to residents of the United States and Europe, musicians will have the chance to showcase their best track and win a Virgin Records demo recording contract.
One runner-up band from each country will become the proud owners of one top-of-the-range Epiphone Les Paul Custom Guitar. To enter bands will need to visit the MySpace website and Contest page to create a MySpace account and band profile page and to submit their song (MP3 format only) and MySpace user voting and/or ranking starts the same day. All MySpace users worldwide can cast a vote for any song entered in this Contest, regardless of territory, right up until March19, 2007.
Beginning March 20, 2007, the top ranked songs from each country (US and Europe) will be judged by a celebrity expert panel, with consideration of factors including MySpace user voting/ranking, and the ultimate winners (one winning band for the United States and one winning band for all of Europe) will be announced on March 25, 2007.
