BMI and Pump Audio Present ‘Battle for the Boat’

BMI songwriters now have the opportunity to win a slot on board the Rock Boat - the world's greatest floating music festival! The musical celebration will take place at sea Jan. 11-15, 2007, kicking-off in Fort Lauderdale, Fla., and sailing to the Caribbean islands of Turks & Caicos.

The victor will share the spotlight with bands like Sister Hazel, Better Than Ezra and Collective Soul. The competition, powered by sonicbids.com, offers one lucky winner round-trip airfare to Ft. Lauderdale, one night hotel, and a cabin aboard the Rock Boat with all meals included. The Rock Boat is already a sold-out event with over 2,000 fans attending.

"It is important for the up-and-coming BMI singer/songwriter to catch this opportunity because they'll be playing for a captive audience that usually translates to loyal fans for years to come," says BMI's Lynn Oliver, Associate Director of Writer/Publisher Relations in Atlanta.
