We received some really great submissions and I want to thank the artists for their creative brilliance and the promoters for pushing really hard to spread word about my music and The Peak Performance Project!
As far as The Peak Performance Project goes…I unfortunately didn’t place in the Top 3 this year, but was named 4th place. As the 4th place artist, I am automatically entered into the Top 20 next year and will have another shot at sharing $275,000!

So, I will probably have another competition similar to this one in 2010!

Without furthur delay:

WINNER OF “SHOW” (Art Submission) – CHRISTINA LUDWIKA RZEPA, Muzyka, musical submission – Adae and the Raven!

This cello piece will be featured in my upcoming musical release in March 2010! Stay tuned! Listen to the winning submission here: http://www.zshare.net/audio/689371325f4c67a4/

RUNNER UP – Brent Johnson’s T-shirt design…this one is so cool, I might have to have 2 winners

WINNER OF “TELL” (Promotion Submission) – CINDY PETERS, Swift Current, Saskatchewan

Cindy relentlessly promoted my music and inititated numerous marketing activities to garner votes for me during the Peak Performance Project.
She wrapped “Vote for Adaline” cards around Rocket Candies and handed them out at Halloween, she went to numerous businesses in her hometown and put up posters, she promoted at work and with her friends, she continues to push for more awareness of my music on CBC Radio 3, the list goes on and on. She is very deserving of the top prize for all of her work and encouragement over the last 6 months.

*She will win a personal performance and visit from me to her hometown in March 2010!

CONGRATS CINDY!

This is a track composed by Christina Ludwika Rzepa, the artist is Muzyka (http://www.myspace.com/muzykaproject). The piece is called “Adae (and the Raven)”. It’s a haunting and emotional instrumental piece that we’re sure you’ll enjoy. The artist suggests listening to the composition “along with an Edgar Allen Poe poem and a snifter of brandy”. I love that!
Take it in and let us know what you think!

Muzyka – “Adae (and the Raven)”

And don’t forget, we’ve got only a few days left to vote (http://www.peakperformanceproject.com/?page_id=1113) Please remember to ask a few friends to vote as well.

Please make this picture your profile picture!

So THIS Saturday November 21st at 1:30pm a gathering of people from the Vancouver Street Team are getting together at the Olympic Village SkyTrain Station for a Flash Mob.  A Flash Mob is when a random activity, organized through the internet, occurs in the city spontaneously.  We are getting together and having a dance party on the Vancouver Sky Train!  People will file onto the train, not speaking to each other, and then “Whiter/Straighter” will play on a boom box afterwhich Adaline Street Team Members on the train will get up and dance while handing out voting cards and CDs!  We have members from the UBC dance team coming out to dance as well!

It will be a fantastic time.  But I was thinking…it doesn’t just have to happen in Vancouver!  If you live outside of Vancouver, you could organize a similar event happening at the same time in YOUR city!  You could have a dance party on a bus, in a store, in the mall, at your school, at your work, pretty much ANYWERE!  If you pull together a group of friends and make our Flash Mob National, or INTERNATIONAL, please Video Tape it and send it to adalinecontest@gmail.com.  If you are participating in the “Tell” portion of this contest, you could score some serious points and potentially win a visit from me to your city, anywhere in the world!

Email me with ANY questions!  ADALINECONTEST@GMAIL.COM

An international “Whiter/Straighter” dance party?  sweet.

For those of you participating in the “Tell” part of this contest, keep track of everything you are doing and report back to me (adalinecontest@gmail.com).  Remember you could win a personal performance for your friends and family in your city, ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD!

Feel free to email me ANY questions you might have about the Show and Tell Competition!
