We are kicking off our 2017 Social Star Contest today! During the contest, we recognize our up-and-coming songwriters who are turning heads musically and have a massive online presence. Over the course of two weeks, you will have an opportunity to vote for your favorite BMI Social Star nominee. Is DaveEast your 2017 #BMISocialStar? If so, help him win by doing the following: 1. Like this photo. 2. Go to DaveEast’s IG account and ‘Like’ his Social Star image. 3. Go on Twitter and tweet: “I #VoteDaveEast to be BMI’s 2017 Social Star!” or use “#VoteDaveEast” in a tweet. The nominee whose hashtag is used the most on Twitter and has the most ‘Likes’ on Instagram will be the 2017 #BMISocialStar.
