<h3>Your Chance To Win: Guitar Center&#8217;s Singer Songwriter 2 National Contest.</h3>
<p>National brand, <strong>Guitar Center</strong>, is offering aspiring singer/songwriters nationwide the opportunity to see their dreams come true&#8230;or at least to get their foot in the door via a national contest, <strong>Singer-Songwriter 2</strong>. Essentially, you submit your original songs/performance, and in the end you have the chance to work with a well known producer, John Shanks, snag a cash prize, and perform your music on <strong><em>Jimmy Kimmel Live</em></strong>.</p>
<p>No doubt this is conceivably a stellar opportunity, but I expect the competition will be steep! The inaugural contest debuted last year, and received over 17,000 applicants! If you&#8217;ve got what it takes though, find complete details below and best of luck!!</p>
