Dukeicon Posted January 21, 2020 Report Share Posted January 21, 2020 (edited) We’re very pleased to announce details of our 2020 EMERGING TALENT COMPETITION, which is once again supported by PRS for Music and PRS Foundation. The competition gives new UK and Ireland-based acts of any musical genre the chance to compete for a slot on one of the main stages at this year’s 50th anniversary Festival. The winners of the free-to-enter competition will also be awarded a £5,000 Talent Development prize from PRS Foundation to help take their songwriting and performing to the next level. Two runners-up will also each be awarded a £2,500 PRS Foundation Talent Development prize. Acts from any musical genre can enter the 2020 competition FOR ONE WEEK ONLY from 9am Monday 27th January until 5pm Monday 3rd February 2020 via this website. To enter, acts will need to supply a link to one original song on SoundCloud, plus a link to a video of themselves performing live (even if it’s only recorded in a bedroom). Once the entries are in, a panel of 30 of the UK’s best music writers will help compile a longlist of 90 acts. The longlist will then be narrowed down to a shortlist of eight artists by judges including Glastonbury organisers Michael and Emily Eavis, before the live finals in Pilton in April decide the winning act. For the past five competitions, all eight of the finalists were offered slots at that year’s Festival. The 2019 Emerging Talent Competition winner was the soulful singer-songwriter Marie White, who has since signed with Decca Records and Universal Music Publishing Group following a year of highlights which included her performances at Glastonbury, a 6 Music live session and supporting Keane at the Royal Albert Hall. https://www.glastonburyfestivals.co.uk/2020-emerging-talent-competition-announced/ Edited January 21, 2020 by Dukeicon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure we can pass off as either 'emerging' or 'talent' though. I can dream. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As on the above post my talent musically will have to emerge very quickly ... the bonus if I was to perform would be that resale spreadsheets would become a thing of the past Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
