Earlier this year, the makers of Folgers Coffee and multi-platinum recording artist Gavin DeGraw teamed up to invite aspiring musicians to submit an original interpretation of the classic Best Part of Wakin' Up jingle. The Top 10 finalists found ways to weave passion, optimism and great coffee into their entries and Folgers is proud to share their inspired submissions with coffee enthusiasts everywhere.

"I was blown away by the different ways each of these ten artists blended their musical talent and unique style with the iconic Folgers Jingle," said Gavin DeGraw. "Building upon something everyone can relate to, like the jingle, and using it as a foundation to express your own thoughts and ideas is what being a songwriter and musician is all about."

Following the Online Vote, the winning rendition will be announced on or about June 24, 2013. For Official Rules, a list of daily prizes and complete details visit Folgers.com/jingle. Open to legal residents of the 50 United States and D.C., 18 years of age and older. Void where prohibited.
