Hyundai and The Recording Academy have announced the fourth annual Grammy Amplifier Program is now accepting submissions through Dec. 16 from artists seeking to further their musical careers.

Three 2016 winners will be selected by Amplifier curators: Sam Hunt, Big Sean, and Lzzy Hale. Entrants’ friends, family and fans can listen and “amplify” tracks to generate plays and social media points through on Dec. 16 in hopes of making the 25 most “amplified” artists. Those semifinalists will continue gathering “amplifications” through Jan. 4 when the t0p 10 will be flown to Los Angeles to participate in a Music Business Immersion Day to educate them on social media promotion, copyrights, and publishing, among other topics. The final three winners will be selected by the curators and announced during Grammy Week in February, each to receive one of three prize packages: a studio recording session with a Grammy-winning producer; an opening slot for a noted artist and/or a series of festival shows; or the filming of a music video with a celebrated director.
