UPDATE:

Bad news. We regret to inform our community that we must close the “Capital Hoedown Showdown” Competition on OurStage. In recent weeks, it has been revealed that the festival is experiencing financial difficulties, resulting in venue changes and the loss of multiple headlining acts, including Taylor Swift, Reba, and Brad Paisley.

We had hoped that the festival would rebound from these setbacks in time for us to confidently stage a great competition. But given these recent developments, we feel it necessary to manage the expectations of our artist community and close the competition.

This is a disappointment to us all, and we regret any inconvenience our artists have experienced. We want to thank you for entering the competition, and for being a valued member of the OurStage artist community.

As always, if you have any questions, feel free to contact us at community@ourstage.com.

Thanks
-OurStage

Participants must be eighteen (18) years of age or older at time of entry and must reside within the forty-eight (48) contiguous United States or Canada. Only submission materials that are determined, at the sole discretion of the Sponsors, to be classified as Country or Alternative Country as defined on the OurStage FAQ’s will be deemed valid entries.

Way back in June, OurStage and Capital Hoedown banded together to scour the great land of Canada in search of its finest country artists. We yodeled our summons from the top of the Rockies (figuratively speaking) to see what we could rustle up.

Turns out Canada is nearly as fertile as Nashville when it comes to incredible country talent. Fans helped us narrow the field down to three stellar contenders who will vie for a spot on the main stage at Capital Hoedown 2011—one of Canada’s biggest country festivals. In just 2 days these three artists will get their chance to audition for that amazing grand prize.

Check out the finalists below, and stay tuned to see who gets to share the same stage as Kenny Chesney, Miranda Lambert, Rascal Flatts, Carrie Underwood and more! We’re mighty excited to see who wins—how about y’all?
