About the contest

Thanks for all of your submissions, but as of 23:59:59, November 21, 2010, entry is CLOSED. We're announcing 2 finalists each from the US, UK, and Brazil on November 29 for you to vote on. But until then, check back frequently as we'll feature some of our favorites. Not necessarily winners, but some truly exceptional entries.

— The Creators Project

Here at The Creators Project we are dedicated to supporting the world's most innovative artists and creative thinkers. And while we’re always looking to feature the biggest and most influential in music, art, and film, we’re also committed to helping budding artists realize their creative visions by giving them the resources they lack. The Creators Project Sessions is the first step in that direction.

To this end, we’re having a little contest to get things started. We're taking three musicians each, one from the United States, one from the United Kingdom, one from Brazil and flying them to NYC, putting them up in a fancy hotel, and setting them up in a fully equipped recording studio loft in Brooklyn for 5 days to let their musical hankerings run amok. All this will take place under the expert guidance of producer Mike Beck (Owl City, Semi-Precious Weapons, among many others)! Over the course of the week, these lucky 3 will collaborate on writing and recording 4 new tracks, the process for which we’ll be documenting right here on The Creators Project with all kinds of full-sensory behind-the-scenes magic.
