The Nimbus School of Recording Arts is holding two simultaneous contests for high school students and adults interested in the opportunity to mix (or remix) a song for the chance to win a $25,000 scholarship to Nimbus.
There’s also a $10,000 scholarship for 2nd place, $5,000 for 3rd, and a $10,000 ‘Voters Choice’ award as well.
All contestants have to do is, on April 1, download the stem files from the Nimbus site and upload their finished mixes by May 1 for public vote and Nimbus review.
The Nimbus judges are well-known Canadian music producers Bob Ezrin (Lou Reed, Alice Cooper, Kiss , Pink Floyd, Peter Gabriel, and Phish) and Garth (Red Hot Chili Peppers, Mötley Crüe, Rage Against the Machine, The Melvins), and Shawn Marino Vice-President of Universal Music Publishing
“This contest is a real opportunity for a new generation of engineers and producers,” Ezrin said in a statement. “This is a chance for talented students to work on tracks from artists they hear on the radio, and to see what it takes to create a mix that stands up to industry standards.”
