If you’ve ever belted out a tune in the shower and thought, Hey, maybe I’ve got something here!—this might be your moment. The folks behind the “Network Now” Special Promotion are offering more than just polite applause; they’re dangling the kind of opportunity that most up-and-comers only dream of: direct mentorship from four music industry heavyweights.
Let’s talk about these mentors for a second. This isn’t your cousin’s garage band “manager” or that guy from open mic night who once played in a ska group. We’re talking Lee Anne Callahan-Longo, former manager of Beyoncé (yes, that Beyoncé); David Silbaugh, the guy who decides who plays at Summerfest, one of the biggest music festivals on Earth; Steve Lillywhite, a GRAMMY-winning producer who’s worked with legends; and Jackie Evancho, a platinum-selling artist who’s done more before turning 25 than most of us will do in a lifetime.
Not exactly the panel you find lurking in the YouTube comments.
A statement from the company discloses that this unique opportunity is all about access—giving artists direct feedback, career advice, and that elusive industry connection that could catapult your career from bedroom pop star to, well, maybe just pop star.
Oh, and it’s not just about wise words and LinkedIn connections. The company revealed that “All entries also qualify for the 2025 Music Awards and the $20,000 grand prize!” Which, in music terms, is roughly 1,200 Taco Bell runs, or one decent synth and some studio time.
But—and this is important—there are only two days left to enter. So if you're reading this while clutching your guitar or eyeballing your half-finished SoundCloud track, it's officially time to stop procrastinating and hit submit.
Time is ticking, so if you’ve got the chops, the tracks, and the nerve, this could be your shot. Because while fame is fickle and autotune is forever, a chance to connect with real-deal mentors like these? That’s rarer than a drummer who shows up on time.
