Duck Down Music and 2K Sports have partnered to present an exciting contest for all aspiring producers and MCs to create unique and original music, along with the special opportunity to have their song included in the upcoming soundtrack for NBA®2K11, the next iteration of the hugely popular NBA 2K series.
Phase 1: NBA 2K11 Producer Contest (CLOSED)
On March 8th, producers had two weeks to create one sample-free instrumental. Over 500 submissions were sent to nba2k11@duckdown.com.
Duck Down Music A&R and representatives from 2K Sports selected the top ten instrumentals on March 22nd.
The overall winner was selected by the general public, who had two weeks to vote for their favorite instrumental at: www.duckdown.com/nba2k11/producer.
Today, we would like to congratulate Bay Root Productions, from San Antonio, TX, for being the winning producer, receiving 47% of the votes. Over 200,000 votes were cast during the 2 week voting period.
