Supernova.com and
99.3 The Fox, a Corus Radio station, have partnered for the
second year in a row to launch
Fox Vancouver Seeds, Canada’s #1 Independent Talent Competition. The 2010 Fox Vancouver Seeds competition will be the biggest yet, featuring an interactive music community powered by the Supernova white-label platform, and designed to drive band and fan engagement during the competition.
Fox Vancouver Seeds has gained a reputation for discovering and bringing new Canadian talent to the national stage. Past winners include artists like
Bif Naked,
Nickleback,
Default,
Matt Good,
State of Shock,
Faber Drive and
Daniel Wesley.
With hundreds of new indie artists vying for a piece of the Fox Vancouver Seeds legacy, the
Supernova white-label product is the ideal solution to the challenge of supporting an event like Fox Vancouver Seeds.
“What an exciting start to our biggest year yet for Fox Vancouver Seeds. Supernova.com has provided the program with a new opportunity to create a customizable online environment to further our support of independent talent. This marks the start of what will hopefully be a long and rewarding partnership between The Fox and Supernova and establish a permanent indie social network to showcase BC talent in a new and dynamic way.”
– Chris ‘Dunner’ Duncombe,
99.3 The Fox Program Director
