Choice Hotels International, Inc. and The Steve Harvey Morning Show have teamed up to launch The Choice Hotels Rising Star Music Challenge. This challenge benefits both aspiring musicians as well as communities across the country through the Steve Harvey Foundation.
For artists who think they have what it takes to create America’s next hit song, The Rising Star Music Challenge could be the opportunity to have their original song heard by millions of listeners. Artists can submit an original, community uplifting song in a 2-minute video format and upload it on http://choicehotelsrisingstarcontest.com by February 6, 2011.
Three finalists will be chosen by the Choice Hotels Music Judging Panel and announced on The Steve Harvey Morning Show on February 15, 2011. Submissions will be judged on creativity, originality and relevancy to the theme of uplifting the community. The three finalists’ videos will then be put on choicehotels.com and steveharvey.com to give individuals the chance to vote for the Grand Prize winner.
The grand prize winner will be announced on March, 1st, 2011 on The Steve Harvey Morning Show and will receive a home recording package and exposure to millions of listeners. In addition, their song will be available for free download on Choicehotelsmusic.com for the month of March. During the month, each time an individual downloads the song, Choice Hotels will donate $1 to the Steve Harvey Foundation (up to $10,000).
