There are two rounds of judging.
In the first round, the top ten songs (finalist) will be chosen. In round two, Downtown Records will choose the top song (finalist) out of the ten song demos. The finalist chosen by Downtown Records will win the prize of a free trip to New York City for four days, three nights of free studio time to create and mix their own song.
The remaining nine finalists will receive a pair of Converse shoes, a gift certificate from Converse, and prizing from Guitar Center to be determined.

I would love to see what Bjork would come up with when designing a pair of sneakers. Her music takes me to the highest and lowest most beautiful places I’ve ever been, and I think her design work would really be something to behold. : ]

I’d like to wear a pair of sneakers designed by a member of Animal Collective or by all of them together. That would be some crazy underworld over the top greatest sneakers in the world, I guess. As Animal Collective do know how to surprise and be different. Love them. Yes!

Sam Beam plucking his acoustic delights while skipping across the moonlit rooftops of a Jewish town. His movement made easier due to the ultra light and comfy Chuck-Tee high cut ALL STARS he has on his hairy little feet. That is my ultimate I would travel the earth and even attempt to get a Jewish passport just to observe such a treat
