This summer MTV2 is searching for the hottest local talent across nine different regions in the US—and they’re looking on OurStage!  As part of MTV2’s Local Music Series, OurStage will be hosting regional competitions for Rock, Hip-Hop and Latin artists.  Three artists from each region will be selected from the fans’ Top 20 to duke it out for a chance to win on-air exposure within MTV’s biggest music franchises including the 2009 MTV Video Music Awards, MTV2’s Rail N Rock and MTV2’s Sucker Free! Starting July 1st, artists located near Portland, San Francisco/Oakland, Boston, Atlanta, Philadelphia, Chicago, Washington DC and Los Angeles are invited to enter their best song into their local channel. New York City area artists can enter beginning August 1st. Accepted genres for each competition vary by region so be sure to check out your locale’s page to see if your music qualifies before entering! Check out all the MTV channels this summer on OurStage!
