The first competition of 2012 has its winner, it’s Marco Mangraviti that has received more comments than any other. His top score has been followed by Bence Koczka, Yosif Bambin, Lost Brand, Piero Furlan, Piotrek Wojnar and many more thounders.
Marco is receiving a black Fender Stratocaster guitar, that he can’t wait to show off on stage with his band.
Listen to all the thounds that have been submitted:

It’s raining today and makes it not very happy then, so we thought it was a good idea to cheer you up and start a new contest to give one Fender Stratocaster away.
The rules are the easiest:
Comments will be count as from unique users.
You can apply with as many thounds as you want.
In case of even amount of comments the earlier recorded thound will win.
We will ship everywhere in the world for free.
You have time until Wednesday 30th November 2011 17:00 CET
UPDATED

You have time until Friday 2nd December 2011 23:59 CET

Some random quotes from the jury about the winning track:
“The guitar riffs are great, reminds of Foals. Nice and tight.”
“A great potential player, I’d say.”

The shortlist will be submitted to a jury of artists and music professionals that will decree the final winner.
