| Sonicbids and Great American Song Contest Announce Partnership Great American Song Contest to Exclusively Accept Online Submissions Through Company’s Much-Lauded Platform Boston, MA – October 7, 2004 – Sonicbids announced that it is the exclusive online submission platform for the 6th Annual Great American Song Contest, a highly respected international songwriting competition, open to songwriters, artists, bands and music composers. "We are excited to work with the Great American Song Contest, a contest that emphasizes networking and education," said Panos Panay, Founder & CEO of Sonicbids. "This is a great opportunity for our members that offers benefits to songwriters everywhere - every participant will receive feedback on their entries from music industry professionals." “We are happy to be working with Sonicbids to offer songwriters a fast and easy way to submit to the Great American Song Contest,” said Steve Cahill, president of Songwriters Resource Network, sponsor of the annual songwriting event since 1999. “Additionally, our partnership with Sonicbids will also bring us the ability to review entries very efficiently.” The Great American Song Contest is using new Sonicbids technology that enables artists to upload specific songs for their entries rather than be judged based on the songs in their Sonicbids EPK™ (Electronic Press Kit). This provides both artists and partners more flexibility for opportunities such as song contests or compilation CDs. Judges for The Great American Song Contest include Grammy-nominated songwriters and top music-industry professionals. Every songwriter who enters this event receives a written evaluation of their work from the contest. The contest is sponsored by Songwriters Resource Network, a trusted education resource for songwriters everywhere. Sponsors for the 6th annual Great American Song Contest include TAXI, CD Baby, Sonicbids, MasterWriter, SongLyricist.com and SongU.com. Sonicbids has set the industry standard with its Electronic Press Kit (EPK™) platform that enables music industry professionals to send and receive press kits online. Used by thousands of musicians, Sonicbids' EPKs offer an easy-to-use, web-based graphical interface containing all the basic information of a standard press kit, including music, photos and date calendar. The new message board will add an element of community to Sonicbids, which will enhance Sonicbids as its network of partners continues to grow and as more and more music industry professionals accept EPKs as the industry standard.
