Durham Bulls Looking for Foodies and Musicians

The Durham Bulls knew launching these two contests would yield big results in the city that is nationally recognized for its emerging food culture and rising fast in the local and regional music scene.

The Clash of the Concessions contest will allow fans to submit their ideas or recipes from now until February 18th for a new food item at the DBAP for the 2011 season. The Bulls will select the three best ideas, then make them available for the fans to sample and vote on at Fanfest on March 4th and 5th at the ballpark. The winning submission will become the new featured item at the ballpark this summer and the person who made the submission will win a season’s worth of the new food item!

“This is a fun way for us to add a new food choice while giving the fans a say in what we are serving,” Durham Bulls General Manager Mike Birling said, “I know I’m looking forward to trying some of the new ideas.”

Anyone interested in submitting an idea can do so by clicking here. All submissions must be received by February 18th to be considered.

The Durham Bulls are also looking to find a new theme song for the team that will be played prior to each home game in the 2011 season.

Submissions for this contest must be no longer than 3 minutes in length, and should convey the excitement and energy of Durham Bulls baseball.

Artists may submit their work by mail, or in person. Submissions should be addressed to the attention of: Durham Bulls Music Contest, 409 Blackwell Street, Durham, NC 27702. E-mails containing MP3 files should be sent to aroa@DurhamBulls.com with the subject line “Durham Bulls Music Contest”

The deadline for submitting materials is March 14, 2011. By submitting a song you agree to allow the Bulls to use song at their discretion without compensation.
