For those who have been on pins and needles about the Doritos “Crash the Super Bowl” contest, the company announced three finalists today, one being from Big D, based on nationwide online votes. The contest, which started back in October, asked unsigned artists to submit an original song and video. Narrowed down to 10, online votes in late December began the process of determining the final three.
19 year-old Landon Austin, submitted “Waitin” and now finds himself vying for his song to air during Super Bowl XLII in February. Not only that, the contest offers a recording contract, $10,000 and, befittingly, a trip to the game. I imagine he’ll probably get a lot of Doritos, too.
Votes are being accepted from now until January 28 here. -- Rich Lopez
