The Grand Prize winner would receive the honor of opening for John Legend at a high profile show, hotel and airfare included.

Everybody here at OurStage is excited to announce our newest special contest with Radio One, “Be Legendary” with John Legend. John is inviting undiscovered and rising artists and musicians to cover and produce their own version of his song, “Everybody Knows”. Your creativity is limited only by your imagination – you can perform your cover however you like. If you don’t play an instrument, try performing an a capella version of the song! The winning artist will receive a trip for two, to open for John Legend at one of his shows this year. There’s even a chance that John will join you on stage and perform your winning song with you!
In case you thought we’d forgotten about all of OurStage’s fans – let me sweeten the pot. OurStage and Radio One will also be running a sweepstakes amongst everyone who judges in the John Legend channel. The more times you judge, the more entries you get in the sweepstakes! One lucky fan who judges in the channel will win an all-expenses paid trip for two to meet John Legend backstage at his concert. Have we taken your breath away yet? The fan will also win a complete Sony Xplod Sound System, courtesy of Sony and Radio One.
Check out the complete rules, and listen to “Everybody Knows” on OurStage.
