Local Auditions
During the month of August, CMT.com and Comcast partnered to bring local auditions to Knoxville, Tenn., Pittsburgh,
Atlanta and Nashville, Tenn. Undiscovered singers/songwriters performed an original song to submit in person. Below are the
grand prize winners from each city. These acts will be guaranteed a spot in the Top 64 finalists and will receive a Comcast/CMT-sponsored
showcase in their hometown, along with $5,000 in prizes. Missed the audition? You can still submit your entry online.
