July 3, 2008 — Sugarland is GAC’s Artist of the Month for July.

Click here to enter the sweepstakes.

But wait, there's more! Sugarland also unveiled a Platinum Ticket contest on its website yesterday in which five winners will receive a trip to Nashville to attend the 42nd annual Country Music Association Awards in November and meet the duo — Jennifer Nettles and Kristian Bush.

The contest begins July 22, the same day Mercury Records releases Love On The Inside. The Deluxe Fan Editions of the set — which include bonus tracks, an expanded CD booklet and more than 20 minutes of video material — may include a Platinum Ticket, which makes the buyer eligible for the grand prize package, valued at more than $2,100. In addition to the awards tickets and the face time with Sugarland, it also includes round-trip airfare, ground transportation to a hotel, two nights lodging, attendance at a Sugarland performance and a bevy of additional Sugarland merchandise.

Purchase of Love On The Inside is not required and will not change the odds of winning, which are 30,000-to-1. It’s possible to enter the contest by simply putting your name and other specific information on a card and mailing it to the official sweepstakes post office box in Sherman Oaks, Calif., by Oct. 1.
