IT&E calls on local musicians to create next IT&E theme song

IT&E is challenging local musicians in Guam and the CNMI to channel their creativity into composing a song about IT&E and mobile technology to win up to $7,000 dollars in cash and prizes.

The telecommunications provider today announced the launch of the IT&E Song Challenge, a song-writing contest that will produce IT&E’s next theme song. Residents of Guam and CNMI will also get a chance to choose their favorite by voting for People’s Choice.

“It’s important to us that our theme song represents not only IT&E, but also the community and people we serve. We’re excited to hear what our local musicians come up with for the IT&E Song Challenge and to provide a platform for them to really flex their talent and creativity,” said Jay Shedd, senior director of Sales and Marketing at IT&E.

IT&E Song Challenge is open to Guam and CNMI residents 18 years old and over and all genres are welcome.

Lyrics must mention and promote IT&E. Song must include themes of technology, cell phones and its usage, as well as how IT&E benefits one’s life.

IT&E Song Challenge entries will be judged based on universal appeal, originality, lyrics, melody, composition and relevance to theme, IT&E brand, and IT&E products.

The categories for the IT&E Song Challenge:

-IT&E’s Choice – IT&E will choose one song to be its official theme. A $1,000 cash prize and up to four phones (depending on the number of people in the group) and free SMS, voice and data service for a year.

-People’s Choice – A panel of judges will choose the top 8 finalists. Residents of Guam and the CNMI will choose one winner from the top 8 finalists as the People’s Choice.
