Hunter Hayes, Dustin Lynch To Help Pick Unsigned Only Winners

Unsigned Only, the international music competition for artists and bands, has announced its list of finalists from among more than 9000 entries and 100 countries worldwide. Winners will be chosen later this month by a panel of celebrity judges that includes Hunter Hayes, Dustin Lynch, and Craig Morgan. Artists from AAA, AC, Christian, Country, Folk, R&B/Hip-Hop, Rock, Pop/Top 40, Teen, and Vocal Performance will be selected and the grand prize winner will land firsthand guidance and mentoring by label professionals along with key networking opps.
Among the country finalists are Breaking Southwest, Laughlin, and Luke Betchner. A complete list of finalists can be found at the Unsigned Only website.
One Fandemonium winner will be chosen during the competition as well. Fans who go to the Unsigned Only Facebook page and like it can listen to the songs from all of the 2013 finalists and vote for their favorite once per day, every day, until Monday, Aug. 26th.  The overall Fandemonium winner will be announced in late August with the rest of the Unsigned Only winners.
