Record your riff at home, at a Washburn dealer, the contest area of a Washburn Exhibition booth or anywhere you like, all that matters is "Are you Metal enough to win?". Riffs must be recorded on a Washburn guitar and last no longer than 35 seconds. If your clip is voted in the top 13, you can win a great prize including a brand new Washburn XM series custom shop guitar.

The upload & voting phase of the contest will close July 15, 2010. You may upload 2 different 35 second clips (see rules for details). Winners will be determined and informed on or about July 16th, 2010, just a couple of weeks before The Wacken Open Air Festival 2010.
