The Intel Superstars Competition kicked off in July, offering artists from around the country a chance to compete for laptops equipped with Intel® Coreâ„¢ processor technology and Cakewalk music creation software in genre-specific music channels including rock, pop, country, urban, singer-songwriter and Latin. The Top 20 artists in each of these channels earned a place in the Intel Superstars Finals Competition for a shot at winning $10,000!

Six months, 5,900 artists, 13,000 songs in 6 genres and over 220,000 votes later, a grand prize winner has been chosen by a panel of judges including Kristin Bredimus (OurStage.com), Bruce Tyler (former EVP Sony Music), Mike Rivet (Intel Corporation), Jimmy Landry  (Artist Relations/Cakewalk and former A&R, EMI and Capitol Records), Rev. MOOSE (VP of Content, CMJ Network) and Jason Jordan (VP, A&R  Hollywood Records).  Meet Sara Lindsay, a 21-year-old singer-songwriter from Lakewood, California. Sara entered her winning song into the Intel Superstars Pop Competition Channel and battled all the way to the top with her song Best of Me. It was that very song that caught the ears of the judges in the competition, landing her the $10,000 grand prize and a special performance slot at the Intel booth at the CES conference in Las Vegas. Join us in congratulating Sara Lindsay on her win! Stay tuned to the OurStage blog for our interview with Sara in the coming weeks.
