The winner will be announced on “Late Night with Jimmy Fallon” and appear on AOL Music.

According to the news release, the acts in the contest will be featured in Rolling Stone, RollingStone.com, AOLMusic.com and AtlanticRecords.com and feature online voting rounds with the final two acts competing at the Bonnaroo Music & Arts Festival in June.
