Intel, together with OurStage, Orange OPC, Cakewalk, Gibson Guitars and Blue Microphones bring us the 2nd Annual Intel Superstars Competition.

The 2nd Annual Intel Superstars Competition is a six genre-exclusive competition for pop, rock, country, singer-songwriter, latin, and urban artists.

Aspiring artists simply enter their best track in the genre that best fits their style of music and get a chance to win amazing prizes. All entries are judged by and ranked by fans via the patented judging technology of OurStage. Each category will have a first place winner which will receive specific prizes.

The number one ranked artist for each genre will win a prize package that includes an Intel® Core i7™ processor-based Orange OPC, Cakewalk SONAR X1 Production Suite Software and a Yeti Pro from Blue Microphones.

If you make it to the top 20, you'll advance to the final round in December where you will get a chance to present your music with the best of the applicants and get a chance to win the $10,000 Grand Prize. The Grand Prize Winner is to be selected by a panel of industry experts from among the top 20 over all ranked artists of the competition.

Judging is about to start and the awarding is scheduled in January of 2012.
