The contest is closed! Thank you for your entries! We've got five – count 'em, five! – Monterey Jazz Festival compilations from iTunes to give away. Each compilation has 15 songs from artists that played at the 53rd Monterey Jazz Festival. There's two ways to enter:

1. Comment on this blog post telling us your favorite jazz artist.
2. Follow SeeMonterey on Twitter. Then tweet, "I entered the #SeeMonterey contest for a chance to win a Monterey Jazz Festival compilation! http://bit.ly/aK6NlH"

Use both methods of entry to double your chance at winning! We'll pick the winners on Friday afternoon. (Wouldn't winning something be the perfect way to start your weekend?) What are you waiting for? Enter now! The legal stuff: No purchase necessary to enter. Must be resident of one of the 50 U.S. States or DC and 18 years old or older at date of entry into sweepstakes. Void in Puerto Rico, all U.S. territories and possessions and where prohibited by law. Employees and relatives of employees of the Monterey County Convention and Visitors Bureau may not enter. Contest winners will be drawn at random at noon on Friday, September 23, 2010. Prize is solely for personal use and may not be used for any other promotion (but we don't mind if you re-gift it to your jazz-loving sweetie). Odds of winning depend on the number of entries received. If a winner can't be reached within 72 hours of selection, we reserve the right to select a new winner — so check your email and DMs!
