Tribe of Noise, Announces One Billion Fans Contest to Musicians and the Masses www.tribeofnoise.com

Tribe of Noise, Announces One Billion Fans Contest to Musicians and the Masses www.tribeofnoise.com

AMSTERDAM, November 13/PRNewswire/ -- Economic downturns always affect marketing budgets from major
corporations to street corner musicians. Money troubles tend to bring out
fear but not so for the people at Tribe of Noise. They have just announced
their One Billion Fans Contest. ONE BILLION FANS! Is that even possible, you
may ask? "Go out big or just stay home," says Chief of Noise, Hessel van
Oorschot.

Here's the deal - Fans go to http://www.onebillionfans.com and vote for
their favorite. The winner will be featured on the world's biggest digital
billboard found in Times Square in New York City. Now that's exposure! The
public voting contest ends on February 28th, 2009.

"Getting attention is getting money," said Gerd Leonhard,
Media Futurist, and Author of "Music 2.0". He is right. In an ever
increasingly crowded consumer space, companies are seeking new ways to
compete with smaller and smaller budgets. A new sound can help them create a
stand-out corporate identity but they need to find it safely and not feel
threatened by legal action or forced to pay steep finders fees.

Tribe of Noise has legally tackled the historic problem of
sharing music. It is the first and only website solely using the Creative
Commons license and user agreements to share music for commercial purposes.
But wait, Musicians and Corporations, isn't that counterintuitive? "Nowadays
it's about really making it all happen yourself," said Gary Platt, winner of
RIAA Gold & Platinum Record Awards.

Corporations are also invited to join in the fun and
excitement. They can "sponsor" their current employees, friends, family or
favorite musician from their own "street corner" in the online contest.

"Wait 'til you see the One Billion Fans winner up in lights
over one of the busiest places in the world," Mr. van Oorschot.
