All entries must be completed and submitted by 11:59:59 p.m. ET on September 27, 2008 to be eligible for public voting and the final judging.

The top 6 finalists, will be judged based on: Originality and Creativity (30%); Skilled Performance (30%); and Overall Appeal (40%). The Finalist with the top overall score will be determined the Grand Prize winner and win a 3-day/2-night trip for two to Los Angeles, CA and perform with studio musicians live in front of an A&R panel at a major recording studio!! The performance will be videotaped and featured on the A&R Channel.

In addition, Dixon will present the Grand Prize winner with a Dixon Outlaw Series 7-piece drum set and a full complement of hardware (ARV: $10,000).
