so my friend Eamon entered his song in an Alberta-wide contest for "a memorable song that’s artful and resonant about Alberta." there's an internet vote that the judges will take into consideration.
the contest is sponsored by a bank and a radio station. if he wins he gets 10K and another 2K to go towards a radio-ready recording of his song.
he's winning the voting right now, but it's really coming down to the wire. if some of the great people here could put in a vote for Eamon McGrath right away, that would be really awesome.
