FORT WORTH, Texas -- Chef Point Cafe, a Fort Worth, Texas, area fine-dining restaurant situated in a Conoco gas station/convenience store, is holding a competition in search of a new theme song for the restaurant and website. First prize is $100, with the song played onhttp://www.chefpointcafe.org and featured in a press release.
"Some of our loyal fans had shown me videos of restaurant theme songs on You Tube. That got me to thinking that we need a catchy, creative song that fits the uniqueness of our Fort Worth [image-nocss] restaurant. I didn't want to go the usual way of hiring musicians to write the song. Instead I thought a contest would be the best way to hear a variety of different types of music," said Paula Nwaeze, co-owner of Chef Point Cafe, Watauga, Texas.
The rules; all material must be original and copyright free. The video needs to be between 30 seconds and two minutes long. Contestants can post the video on www.youtube.com and then email Chef Point Cafe the link at info@chefpointcafe.org. All entries must be received by November 19, 2010 at midnight CST.
A distinguished panel of judges will determine the top three videos of the submitted entries. The fans will select the winner by voting for their favorite song.
Nwaeze encourages individuals, garage bands, school bands or college bands to enter. "I'm looking forward to seeing the videos of all the entries and then letting our fans select the winner," added Nwaeze.
The husband-and-wife team of Franson and Paula Nwaeze started making plans to open a restaurant in 2001, but most banks were hesitant to lend them startup capital due to their lack of collateral and experience. They discovered they would much more likely get financing if they opened a gas station. When they found a station under construction that was for sale, they bought it, added a full kitchen, and opened for business in 2003.
