IRVINE , Calif.– DiskFaktory.com, a leader in the CD and DVD duplication industry and MakeAStar.com, a premiere provider of online contests are pleased to present an exciting online promotional contest for emerging musical talent.

The contest winners will receive over $5000 in cash and prizes distributed among six music genres; Pop, Rock, Alternative, Spiritual, Country and Hip-Hop/Rap. Not only can a participant win cash and prizes, but each song entered will be heard and scored by music industry A&R experts. The Contest will have 3 Phases. The Grand Prize winner of Phase III in each genre will have his/her song showcased on the upcoming “Best of MakeaStar” CD which will be sent to record label A&R, and will receive $500 cash plus a DiskFaktory Super ProPak valued at $349.

“DiskFaktory has partnerships with Guitar Center, American Idol Underground and Musician’s Friend and other music related companies to provide retail ready CD duplication to their customers.

The majority of them are up and coming or established musical talent. Creating a contest which offers the opportunity for artists to get good feedback about their music and win cash and prizes was a logical direction to take. Just as we have created a complimentary artist community at DiskFaktoryJams.com for musicians to showcase their music on their own websites, the contest provides yet another avenue for the artist to gain exposure to industry A&R experts and the public.”, notes DiskFaktory CEO Ben Abadi.

Musicians can go online to DiskFaktory.com to view contest details and enter the contest hosted at SizzleFizzle.com. Competition groups start as soon as 8 songs are entered into the Contest.
