Hello Indaba!

The Snoop Dogg remix contest was fun, wasn’t it?
Over 8,000 Indaba members entered the contest, and nearly 1,600
of you submitted remixes.  Even more amazing, your remixes were streamed
300,000 times, and you left each other over 35,000 comments during the contest! What a talented and supportive community!

Snoop has been an incredible
supporter of Indabamusic.com and the Indaba Music community.  For the
past month he has been listening to all of your remixes and working towards selecting a Grand Prize winner and 2 runners up.  Last week he reached out to us and said that he had narrowed down his list of favorite remixes to 14, and that he’d be ready to announce his picks on August 11.  Meanwhile, he said that he was blown
away by how much incredible and diverse talent there was on Indaba, and that he wanted to give some additional love and support
(i.e. exposure!) to some of his other favorite remixes that don’t make it into his top 3. 

So, in addition to all of the other amazing prizes in the contest, Snoop and Skullcandy offered to feature an additional 5 remixes on their websited, and he
suggested we let the Indaba Music community decide.  So, we set up a new contest featuring Snoop’s top 14 remixes, and through August 4th, YOU can vote for your favorites and determine which 5 remixes will get featured!

And just so everyone understands – this new prizing is in
addition to the incredible prize package from the “That Tree” remix
contest. Snoop will still be selecting the Grand Prize and 2 Runners Up from his final 14,
and if you promoted the heck out of your remix during the voting period
of the remix contest and you made it into the top 25 of the voting,
don’t worry, the judges will still be selecting 10 of you as Honorable
Mentions. 

Congratulations to everyone who participated in this contest.  You made quite the impression on Snoop.  Now head on over to the contest page and vote for your favorites!
