George Jones University contest

This fall’s participants in the George Jones University program will have a unique opportunity afforded to them through a brand new Country Music competition.

Country Music legend George Jones is giving registrants the chance to be the opening act at one of his upcoming concerts. Music industry executives and entrepreneurs will judge the competitors on their artistry, vocal ability, and stage presence. Competitors must be registered for the Fall session of GJU. The best performer will open for George Jones.

The program, founded in 2006 and held at Jones’ farm in Franklin, Tenn., helps industry hopefuls get a better idea of what goes on in the music world. Industry executives, broadcast personalities, artists, and many others come and speak to the participants about what they do in the Country Music world and what their jobs entail.

This contest will also have a second and third place winner. Second place will have the opportunity to perform when the Country Radio Seminar is in Nashville. Third place will receive an autographed guitar from George Jones. The program is set to begin September 25.
