Anthem_Contest_side_bar-152x300The 2013 FMC “Stand & Be Heard Anthem Singing Contest” is ready for your voting to begin. You’ve got until July 14 to vote for your favorite of the more than 200 ag students who have submitted their rendition of the National Anthem. This voting period will narrow the field to 20 students with a chance to win a $10,000 college scholarship and a nationally-televised recording experience.

You can find the entries and cast your vote here.

From March 1 to June 15, agriculture students across the country participating in agricultural organizations submitted their National Anthem videos online at www.FMCcrop.com/contest. The 20 videos selected by popular vote will be reviewed by a panel of judges, including musicians and agricultural group representatives, who will then choose the four finalists. The finalists will travel to Nashville, Tenn., to take part in a professional Music City recording experience.

Finalist performances will be posted to the contest website and broadcast nationwide August 29 on RFD-TV. A final round of online voting will run from Aug. 26 through September 15 to determine a grand prize winner. The finalist who receives the most votes will win a $10,000 scholarship. The three remaining finalists will receive $5,000 scholarships. Winners will be announced on Sept. 18.
