We’ve been nominated as panelists for next year’s SXSW Music. Giannii, a community manager at Disqus and composer, is spearheading a session about “The Evolution of Music.” We seek to bring together artists and people from the online music space to determine where things are headed. Other speakers would be eMusic, Paul Dateh and Soundcloud.  A lot of panels at SXSW Interactive have thrown around new models for music, but we’re excited to be embraced by the rockstars at SXSW Music.

But we need your help getting there! Please take a minute to register and vote at the SXSW Panel Picker. You’ll have to sign up, and we’d be really grateful if you did!

To vote, visit: http://panelpicker.sxsw.com/ideas/view/4980

To sweeten the deal a little bit, we’re giving away prizes for people who vote for us! To participate in the raffle, simply send an email to sxsw@popcuts.com, telling us that you’ve voted in support of our panel (honor system!).  First prize will win $50 in Amazon Gift Certificates.  Second prize will win $50 in Popcuts credit.  And Third prize will win a gift package complete with Popcuts gear, autographed albums, and free concert tickets! If you’re a winner, you’ll hear back from us by September 6.

And the Bonus Prize: If this panel makes the final cut, we’ll give away a free pass to SXSW (either Interactive or Music – your choice) to one randomly drawn participant!

Thanks, and we hope to see you in Austin next year!

Team Popcuts
