Press Release: Open Labs, LLC. and Linkin Park are announcing an ongoing contest with promotional partner Guitar Center. The Stagelight Monthly Music Contest is a year-long contest hosting original compositions from emerging talent all over the world, created in the flagship music creation software, Stagelight.
Six months of genre-specific contests have occurred to date, with six more to come. The contest has been a huge success in terms of user engagement, and all signs point to continued growth for the remainder of the year.
The Monthly Music Contest enables anyone to compete for an impressive amount of prizes comprised of music software, sounds and hardware instruments. The vendor partners supplying the contest prizes are Arturia, Audio-Technica USA, Big Fish Audio, Blue Microphones, Dell, Fishman, Focusrite, IK Multimedia, JBL Professional, MVP Loops and UVI.
Open Labs' ongoing relationship with Linkin Park and Dell continues to raise awareness of Stagelight: The Easy Way to Create Music, across the web and social media.

Hundreds of contestants from all over the world have entered Stagelight compositions. Musicians from the U.S. to India, Poland, Russia and more, have answered the call to create and share their music. The winning tracks have been promoted and shared through Guitar Center and participating vendors and across the Linkin Park social pages, including the Linkin Park Underground, who choose the monthly winners from a top ten list based on user votes.
