Cool....just to make it clear, you don't get the scholarship, rather, the it will be the "YourNameHere Full Ride Scholarship to WorldRenownedMusicSchool" or something like that. I'm liking the awards at every 100,000 song marker too.
 
wow 10 60 gig iPods. That's a good prize for apple because it gets the ipod in the hands of more people but I think they could have done a much better prize.

It would be cool if they gave you a new ipod every revision for the next 10 revisions.
 
iTunes 1 Billion Song Contest



As in past milestones for the iTunes Music Store, Apple has announced a contest for the leadup to the 1 billionth download.

There will be prizes awarded for every 100,000 song milestone starting at 950,100,000 including a black 4GB iPod nano & a $100 iTunes Music Card.

The grand prize winner who downloads the 1 billionth song will receive 1 20-inch iMac, 10 60GB iPods (5 white, 5 black) and a $10,000 iTunes Music Card.

Man that's too bad, I was really hoping the scholarship counted my school as a world renowned music school, I could definitely use some tuition money.

Don't be down adk - you could always win your namesake scholarship in it's inaugural year!
 
10 iPods?!?!? Holy crap. You could make a lot of money off of that selling them to people.
 
Woah, 10 60 Gig iPods? 600 Gig of music. I can't even clear 10% of that for my collection.
 
Woah! 10 iPods! Hella sweet! and 20" iMac!

I would definitly try to buy the 1 billionith if we could in NZ.:mad:

I was thinking of getting my friend in the States to send me over some more gift cards last night, just sent him an email asking for a $20 card :D

That would be awesome to win, could you imagine that iTunes Music Store credit...

The big winner traditionally gets a phone call from Steve.
 
Amazing how the offer does actually make me want to buy some songs. It's always interesting when gimmicks actually work, at least when they work on me. Ah well, new music is good. :cool:

That sucks, I really wanted to use the voucher to buy Lost Season 2. I guess i can get a few episodes of that and save some of the credit for tracks.

It was last time (500,000 Song). If I remember correctly it was "Mississippi Girl" by Faith Hill.

Here's a question. Do video purchases count?

From the contest rules: "any music video or other video downloads and any free downloads will be deemed an ineligible entry".
