(for rock winner), option to sign winning songs to music publisher for
commercial exploitation in film and TV; personal consultation in
performance, songwriting, marketing and business plan development; a
professional photo session, A&R and music publisher directories, tour
resources and gear.
"The winners obviously have talent, a group of industry professionals
will provide the rest," says LAMN President Tess Taylor.
Top Industry Experts Judge Talent

Entertainment, MySpace Records, a multiple Grammy Award-winning producer,
SIXX: A.M., Taxi.com, Spaceland Productions, Stones Throw Records, Stampede

television shows (by music publisher Robert Walls), been hired on studio
projects (by producer Jan Linder Koda), and gotten production deals (like
Jody Whitesides).
