Announcing October YouPerform CONTEST WINNER!

Posted on Nov 18, 2008 by Bill Aicher (Director of Marketing) in Contest Winners, YouPerform Contest

This past October we tried something new here on Musicnotes.com: our YouPerform Contest, designed to An extension of our popular “Free Sheet Music Download of the Month,” we encouraged you, our customers, to upload your performance of October’s free download, “In the Hall of the Mountain King,” for your peers to vote on for a chance to win a $100 Musicnotes Gift Card.

Today we are proud to announce the winner of the $100 Musicnotes Gift Card is Daniel (Musicnotes user, mallenor2007. Watch for an upcoming post about this award-winning piano player.

As stated, this decision was made by all of you who have come to the site, viewed the entries, and voted on which one you preferred.  Through a combination of votes here on the official Musicnotes blog indicating the quality of Daniel’s performance, as well as on YouTube, Daniel was chosen the winner.

If you didn’t win last month, or didn’t even enter, remember there’s a whole new YouPerform contest underway for November.  Just download your copy of sheet music for the medley “I Saw Three Ships / Away In a Manger / Sussex Carol” (also available as a Guitar Guru / Guitar TAB download) and upload your performance (instructions and rules are available here).

At the end of the month the entries will open for voting and the highest rated performance will be selected as the winner and announced in the middle of December. Based on our experiences running contests, we are not solely basing our decision on how many votes a performer has, but what the performance quality is to ensure the contest is fair.

Here’s a hint: There are currently no entries for this month’s contest, so you have a great chance of winning.  Sing it, bang it out on the piano, pluck through it with your guitar or even hum it.  It doesn’t matter how you play it, and you never know what kind of creative approach will get a vote.

So once again, congratulations Daniel, your gift card is on its way.

The rest of you, download the sheet music, get out your camera or webcam, and show us your stuff.

… and in case you missed it, here’s October’s winning performance:
