Answers At-A-Glance:

Bands/Groups must have at least 2 members. No soloists.

Minimum age for band/group members is 14yo, but there must be somebody over 21 accompanying any group/band with members under 18.

Any genre of music. The best band/group will win. Really - they will. This is not a "popularity" contest - our judges are all seasoned professionals from many facets of the music industry.

You must perform at least 2 original works during every set you play. Covers are allowed for the balance of your set.

Sets are 18 minutes (MAX) with a 6-minute put-up and take-down. You will be judged on how well you use your time.

There is a maximum of 60 bands/groups in the competition.

Preliminary rounds are 12 rounds of  5 bands, with the 12 round winners and 8 wild-cards/previous finalists moving on to the semi-finals.

The semi-final rounds will consist of 4 groups of five bands. Set lengths will be increased to 20 minutes.

The top  band from each semi-final round  will advance to the final round of competition.

The final round will also be 28 minute sets. There will be 1 grand-prize winner from the final competition.
