The Austin Convention and Visitors Bureau recently launched the 2009 Austin Song Contest to find that one special song about Austin that they could utilize in their various promotional campaigns. Over hundred entries later, five finalists have been chosen:
“The Austin I Like” - Lynn Daniel
“Nobody Ever Wants To leave” - Ryan Harkrider
“Austin Sound” - Clark Perry
“You Found A Star” - Jimmy Shortell
“Austin Rocks!” - Patricia Vonne and Rosie Flores
Check out all the songs and vote on ACVB’s website -- voting ends at midnight on May 5th.
The winner receives a $1,000 cash prize, a Gibson Songwriter guitar, and some opportunities to further their career, no doubt. The victor will be announced at the ACVB’s Annual Luncheon at the Hilton Austin on May 8th.
