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 ofNoise. 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.

Game Industry Endorsements
The game industry is starting to discover our Tribe of Noise initiative.
Some feedback:
Game Entertainment Europe (www.ge-eu.com)
"Very nice initiative! It is a great idea to create a Creative Commons 3.0 community which actually connects to all social network communities like MySpace and Facebook. For our games I will scout the footage and I hope to get one of the artist in our game titles. Good luck with it and let it be the biggest of it's kind on the internet."
GameWise Serious Games (www.GameWise.nl)
Tribe of Noise is a very appealing internet concept with high potential. An innovative way of music distribution. Game developers like us are always in need of new and exciting music and audio. Now we can stimulate musicians all over the world to make themselves heard. Together we create a new music platform. May the Tribe of Noise rise!
Paladin Studios (www.paladinstudios.com)
Independent noise is beautiful noise. With this initiative, opportunities arise for creatives to connect with independent studios and share their work. This concept has the potential to enrich creative projects all over the world. Already I have heard some excellent music, so Paladin will definitely scout for artists at Tribe of Noise.
Codeglue (www.codeglue.com)
Creative games need creative music and I think Tribe of Noise is the perfect social network tool to find such music and scout talented new music composers. I've already spotted some really talented people within the Tribe and I think together with them we can create some new original videogames.

Butterfly Works (www.butterflyworks.org)
Tribe of Noise is a great initiative. Butterfly Works hopes there will be music available from all over the world. It would give us the chance to give the local e-content from e.g. Nigeria, South Africa or Indonesia a boost by adding music.
