No artist left behind: Devil Inside Records' Music Mania contest launches April 6

For a second year, Devil Inside Records is hosting Music Mania, a contest for bands and musicians looking to get ahead in the music industry. And this time, every accepted entry will walk away with something.

"No artist will be left behind in this contest," read the Music Mania page

Starting April 6, Music Mania will be accepting votes from fans to decide who makes the cut. In total, 36 acts will be chosen to compete through a course of six rounds, in addition to the finals, with six acts participating in each elimination. An event page will be made for each round featuring a poll where votes are logged. After 24 hours, whoever has the most votes will move onto the next round.
