U4 Sound Contest

SYRACUSE, Indiana — April 20, 2007 — U4 announced, today, a contest to develop The U4 Sound. “This is a unique opportunity,” said Ben Plikerd, President, “We are looking for an original sound to be used in commercials, as an ‘action completed’ sound, or even a ring tone. The sound could be 30 seconds long, but we are focusing on a sound that is 2 to 3 seconds long.” Rich Hays, Director of Marketing said, “We hesitate to give example because any un-original sound will be discarded, but the sound would be like the Windows start up© sound, the sound NBC closes the News© with or Sprint’s Power Up© sound. Another example of the sound would be what you hear when you turn your cell phone off or on. It is hard to describe what we are looking for in words.” Plikerd added, “With access to today’s technology, I would not be surprised at all to receive submissions from individuals who are considered non-musical. We are expecting the students in local schools to really be creative and original.”

The Contest - The contest is open to anyone and will run from now until June 1st. The creator of the winning sound will receive $1000 per contest rules. Submissions will be accepted on CD media in high bit rate MP3 format only. A Declaration of Eligibility Form and, if needed, a Minor Consent Form must be submitted with each CD. The winner will be announced via press release on June 15th. Full contest rules and forms are at www.u4corp.com/contest. Please read the rules carefully and submit the correct forms. U4 wishes you luck.
