Music Nation is currently running an online contest. The 15 week long competition will accept votes from January 29th onwards, and the winners in the pop, rock and urban categories will all get contracts with Epic Records. One of the winners will also appear on ClearChannel’s TV show, Stripped. It’s worth pointing out, however, that YouTube is also capable of discovering talent: the YouTube Underground contest was a virtually identical idea. Likewise, Bix.com is doing similar things and MySpace Music has long been a powerful tool for emerging artists to build an audience. Music Nation is nicely implemented, but surely new bands are looking to go where the audience is: on MySpace and YouTube. That means challenges ahead for all the music social networks and startups.
