AUSTIN, Texas, March 14, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Open Labs, LLC. (openlabs.com), creator of Stagelight music creation app and Grammy(®)-Award-winning rock band Linkin Park are announcing a yearlong contest supported by Intel(®) and Lenovo. The Stagelight Monthly Music Contest II is a twelve month music contest offering weekly and monthly prizes for music listeners and creators. To compete, emerging talent from all over the world must submit an original composition created in Stagelight, the fastest-growing FREE music app available on Android and Windows.

"Music creation is no longer limited to the studio. Open Labs' Stagelight software along with Intel processor power is enabling more people to create and share their own music," said Frank Soqui, Intel's General Manager of Enthusiast Desktop products. "Intel-based desktop PCs are a great tool for music creators with plenty of performance and screen space for all those tracks. And it's great to see how Linkin Park embraces PC technology and takes sincere interest in enabling new musicians."

The Stagelight Monthly Music Contest II enables eligible contestants to compete for impressive prizes, worldwide recognition and studio technology powered by the 6th Generation Intel(®) Core(TM) processor on desktop computers. Intel, Lenovo and Linkin Park are all long-time collaborators of Open Labs and have been instrumental in connecting Stagelight to a growing audience of aspiring musicians, fans and technology professionals in more than 134 countries.

Stagelight is designed to quickly transform music listeners into music creators, empowering anyone to become a music maker in just minutes. Stagelight comes with everything needed to start making music including in-app lessons, on-screen instruments, pro loops and much more. Stagelight is FREE to download and is available on Android and Windows devices including phones, tablets, phablets, laptops and desktops.

Starting March 14, 2016 music fans and creators from all over the world are encouraged to unleash their imagination and enter the Stagelight Monthly Music Contest II as either a voter and/or creator. Styles of music will alternate on a monthly basis between Rock, Electronic, Hip Hop and Wild Card (any musical style). Weekly prizes will be awarded at random to voters.
