# [Send a dope ATL artist to SXSW #ChooseATLartists](https://blog.a3cfestival.com/send-a-dope-atl-artist-to-sxsw-chooseatlartists)

 Written by [Mike Walbert](https://blog.a3cfestival.com/list/author/mike-walbert) | Feb 25

A3C has picked a few buzzing MCs from ATL that we believe should be at SXSW representing ATL.  However, we only have room for one more artist on our show... so we are asking fans to vote for the artist that they most want to represent ATL at A3C's official SXSW showcase, No Big Deal.  #ChooseATLartists

*** ***

***How does voting works?***

 

A3C will host the #ChooseATLartists fan-challenge on Facebook.  Voting will be open from ***Thursday, February 25th through Thursday, March 10th at 11:30pm EST***.  Fans may vote once a day. The artist with the most votes after the voting has closed will be announced on Friday, March 11th.

 

The highest vote-getting Atlanta MC will be a featured artist on A3C's SXSW showcase and will be an official 2016 SXSW artist.

Eearz

 

As the boss of Ear Drummers, Mike Will has a keen eye for talent, and Eearz has the potential to blow up just like Rae Sremmurd.

Tommy Swisher 

 

Tommy Swisher has been making music in Atlanta for a few years, but has been on a surge since releasing "Vsnary."  Swagger for days!  Tommy has a bright future ahead.

**Michael Aristotle**

 

Michael Aristotle is mad creative and dope as fuck.  Once you press play, you can just lay back and vibe out.

Goldyard

 

One of our favorite artists in the city, Goldyard, brings it live at everyshow.  They also consistantly put out super dope music, that reaches far beyond the Atlanta audience.

Chilly Chills was a standout performer from 2015 A3C Festival & Conference.  He has co-signes from tons of veterns, including the man... Andre 3000.  Chilly has been grinding and making great music, it will all pay off in 2016!
