BREAKOUT ARTIST MUSIC COMPETITION is an online music competition in search of aspiring bands and artists who are looking for a once in a lifetime chance to receive a MAJOR management contract, over $35,000 in cash and prizes, including one who earns the title of 2013's Breakout Artist of the Year! The goal of BREAKOUT ARTIST MUSIC COMPETITION is to find unsigned talent that needs to be discovered. With so many music competitions on television we wanted to create an online platform for bands, singers and artists to shine from the comfort of their home or studio. Winners will be chosen based on the potential we see in the artist and their music, NOT by the quality of their recording. Make sure you submit the songs that best represent you.

It's FREE to enter at least one song (additional entries are $20 per song). Artists can submit as many songs as they would like. The BREAKOUT ARTIST MUSIC COMPETITION began on September 3, 2013 and ends November 30, 2013. Winners will be announced in December 2013.

Rob Thomas (Matchbox Twenty), Randy Blythe (Lamb of God), Rick De'Jesus (Adelitas Way), Halestorm (Lzzy Hale, Arejay Hale, Joe Hottinger, Josh Smith), Maria Brink (In this Moment), George Ragan aka Johnny 3 Tears (Hollywood Undead), Joey Calveri (Stacee Jaxx in Rock of Ages on Broadway), Paul Allen (touring & recording guitarist, credits include: Big & Rich, Tim McGraw, Adele, Trace Adkins, Gretchen Wilson), Kim Stephens (President Forward Entertainment), Erin Frankenheimer (VP of A&R Amazing Media Group), Rita Haney aka Lady Dime (owner at LadyDime Productions), Cisely Saldana (Entertainment Expert and sister of actress Zoe Saldana), Tyler Burrow (A-list Celebrity Publicist), Chris Santos (Rock N Roll Chef of Food Network's Chopped) and many more!
