September Contest Winners!

First off, thank to you everyone who took the time to enter. We were overwhelmed with submissions and we’re sorry it took so long to announce the winners. You guys are all awesome. There were a LOT of good entries and deciding the winners were really hard. In the end we judged them by originality, and the question, “would we wear this shirt?” Here we go, top three designs that we really liked.

3rd place - $25 worth of shwag from the UU store

2nd Place - $50 worth of shwag from the UU Store

First Place - New Kamoa Pineapple Soprano

Submitted by Samantha Nery

Congratulations to the winners! Please e-mail me (ukuleleunderground(at)gmail.com) so we can work out how to get your prizes. Once again, thank you everyone who entered. Stay tuned for an easier contest and chance to win your own ukulele.

Also, if you’re not already part of our awesome forum, you may not yet know about the new project we have going. In the forums, we have a legendary member Deach, you may have seen some of his videos on youtube. In the forum, he has become notorious for giving away ukuleles to young up and coming ukulele players. This has caused some controversy in the past, but it’s become the general consensus that he is just an awesome guy. So what started as a way to just immortalize an awesome forum member has somehow turned into a charity drive to give more ukuleles to more kids. We have a pre-order item for a Deach T-shirt in the store in which part of the proceeds are going towards the Kapa’a Middle School Ukulele band to buy them new ukuleles. The program is doing its part of perpetuating the UU mantra of growing the next generation of ukulele players so if you can, please buy a Deach shirt and help us get some new ukuleles to these kids!
