Flash Drive Contest

Since we started our Free Flash Drive giveaway, we’ve had hundreds of entries from all kinds of places… from small bands looking for their break, to small town teachers trying to make a difference. It’s been a real inspiration for us to read all of the entries, and to learn more about our readers and clients.
