Korg Offers Monomania Sound Contest Through End of 2011
— Sound contest offers one-of-a-kind prizes to finalists and Worldwide Grand Prize —

MELVILLE, NY, December 8, 2011 — Korg’s captivating Monotron and Monotribe have created waves of hands-on, knob-tweaking, analog music-making all across the planet. To capture this creativity, Korg Inc. has created the online Monomania Sound Contest, in conjunction with Korg UK and Korg USA.  Due to popular demand, the U.S. deadline for this contest has been extended to January 1, 2012.

This is a chance for Monotron users to compete for prizes by submitting a video or audio clip of themselves making sounds with their Korg Monotron or Monotribe.

In the U.S., 10 winners will be selected in each of three categories: Monotribe Music; Monotron FX; Monotron Music. Prizes include a silver-plated Monotron and Monotribe, plus a host of other Korg gear prizes and Korg T-shirts.

A World grand prize of a one-of-a-kind 24-karat gold-plated Monotribe will be offered to the winner of the Monotribe Music category, as well as a silver-plated Monotron Duo (Monotron Music category) and a silver-plated Monotron Delay (Monotron Sound FX category).  Those winners will be announced at the Winter NAMM Conference in mid-January 2012.
