For the 2nd year, Music Connection Dayton presents our Best of Dayton Underground contest, featuring local, original music from the region, & our Public Voting Round has officially kicked off!
This contest is more about discovering your local scene than it is about winning, so please vote and/or submit acts as you see fit and take a few minutes to search out some cool new music!
In our Public Voting Round, anyone can submit and/or vote on our award categories!
TO VOTE: Find the polls located on the wall of the event and vote for all bands or artists you want to win. You can change your vote(s) at any time through to the end of the contest, but you only get 1 vote for each act in each category. Voting ends THIS Saturday, so invite your friends!
