WHAT:
Join some of the top emerging artists on the college music scene, along with VJs and executives from mtvU (MTV�s 24-hour college network), as they participate in an open Q&A with student journalists nationwide to discuss the 2006 �mtvU Woodie Awards.�  The �Woodies� are the only awards honoring the music voted best by the college audience and this is a chance for student writers, radio DJs and bloggers to speak with some of the up-and-coming acts poised to break big at this year�s show.  During its first two years, college students have established the �mtvU Woodie Awards� as a crystal ball for the music of tomorrow � helping to launch the careers of winners like Fall Out Boy, the Killers and the Afters.  Winners are entirely determined by student voting on mtvU.com and mtvU Mobile; the 2006 �Woodies� voting deadline is October 20, 2006.
