It's our biggest music contest yet, so warm up the amps and crank it up to 11!

We're looking for any project that involves a musical instrument, from instrument maintenance to creation of a new type of instrument. Share your best cigar box guitar or aquaharp and you could win a sweet synthesizer and other musical prizes to help take your band to the next level.
