MINNEAPOLIS, MN, Jun 16 (MARKET WIRE) --
DigitalTown Inc. (OTCBB: DGTW) today announced www.AmericasProdigy.com, a
premier talent discovery site for high school students.
Adding new sizzle to the already impressive array of interactive site
features that will be added to DigitalTown's community spirit sites of
27,000 high schools, America's Prodigy will be focused on promoting
musical contestants who can post their songs and videos online. They will
compete for prizes aimed at furthering their musical careers as well as
benefiting the school.
Richard Pomije, Chairman, states: "Through the DigitalTown network every
American high school large or small will be assured a spot to produce
America's next prodigy, an America's high school idol."
Pomije continued: "What differentiates America's Prodigy from other online
or broadcast talent contests is that it's a win/win for artist, fan, and
school. Our contest will level the playing field by focusing on prep
school age artists versus competing against adult professionals."
Predevelopment interest by students has been extremely high as stated by
this student "I'm Danny, a 16 year old student that will be a junior at
Burnsville High School this coming school year. My friend told me about
this website today and I'm very intrigued by it. My primary instruments
are the guitar and piano. I also love singing. I'll be attending Envision
Academy for the Performing Arts next year to pursue my passion for
music...looking forward to hearing about Americanprodigy.com from you."
The project will commence later in 2009/10 school year and will
concentrate on uncovering new musical talent. More details will be
revealed in the summer.
