TORONTO — Motel 6, the Official Sponsor of Opening Acts, has announced a song-writing contest that’ll help give one aspiring musician the chance to take their music on the road.
This fall, singers and bands are invited to create a song about or inspired by Motel 6. Songs will be judged on criteria such as originality and storytelling. The top six songs will be selected by Motel 6, and the grand prize winner will be chosen by public vote.
The grand prize winner will receive a cash prize of USD $6,000, or the equivalent amount in Canadian dollars, and 20 room nights at Motel 6 locations of their choice to help jumpstart their next tour. The five runners-up will also receive six room nights each to support their own road trips
“At Motel 6, we’re proud to support up-and-coming musicians,” says Irwin Prince, president and COO of Realstar Hospitality, master franchisor of the Motel 6 and Studio 6 brands in Canada. “This contest is a fantastic opportunity to help kick-start the career of emerging talent. We’ll focus on what we do best, providing a comfortable room at a great rate, so artists can focus on what they do best, creating unforgettable music.”
