The Stereofame "Like Dandelion Dust" Movie Soundtrack Contest would like to thank the Stereofame music voting community, all entrants and judges.
WINNING ARTIST
Hank Grant and Songwriters Bill Hail & Dave Younger
Hank Grant and Co-Songwriter Bill Hail will be flown, courtesy of Stereofame, to Palm Springs, California for the International Movie Festival and viewing of the World Premier of Like Dandelion Dust. We've been told be the production company that Hank's song "What I Wouldn't Give" will be featured for about 15 - 20 seconds in one of the early scenes of the movie. Stereofame will be there to videotape Hank's reaction to winning the contest and being featured in the movie.
Contest Note:
Stereofame worked tirelessly with the production company in a failed attempt to award the winner from one of the entry contestants. The Director ultimately chose to exercise a provision in our agreement and contest rules that, as a last resort, enabled all Stereofame artists to be eligible. The Producer stated that the genre of the scene required a country musician. Otherwise, Kitchie Nadal would have been the winner. As a result, Stereofame is electing to recognize her accomplishment of being selected as a finalist and we are awarding her $1,000 as a consolation prize. Stereofame looks forward to continuing to work with motion picture production companies to provide similar contests in the future and we plan to announce our next one very soon.

General: All members of a group winning Artist or an individual winning Artist and his or her traveling companion, as the case may be, must travel together on the same itinerary and possess all required travel documents.

All air transportation tickets are subject to the vagaries of flight variation, work stoppages and schedule or route changes. Sponsor reserves the right to structure the travel route and select hotels in its sole discretion. The approximate retail value for the trip prize may vary depending upon points of departure and destination and fare fluctuations.

Winner will not receive cash or any other form of compensation if actual travel costs are less than the approximate retail value of the trip as stated in the Official Rules. In the event anyone taking the trip engages in behavior that (as determined by Sponsor in its sole and absolute discretion) is obnoxious or threatening, illegal or that is intended to annoy, abuse, threaten or harass any other person, Sponsor reserves the right to terminate the trip early, in whole or in part, and send such person(s) home with no further compensation.
The Film premier is currently anticipated to be held in Los Angeles, California within the next year. If the winner is unable to participate in the trip during the dates chosen by Sponsor, the prize will be forfeited in its entirety. In the event that the premier does not or cannot take place as scheduled or at all, for reasons included but not limited to scheduling conflicts, cancellations, postponement, an event of force nature, or for any other reason, then assuming the winner is willing and able to travel on the dates chosen by Sponsor, in lieu of attending the premier, the Grand Prize winner will receive One Hundred Dollars ($100), and such amount shall constitute full satisfaction of Sponsor's prize obligation to the winner, and no other additional compensation will be awarded. Excepting the preceding sentence, no cash alternative or prize substitutions will be allowed.
