Glastonbury Festival has launched the Emerging Talent Competition 2011. The return of the annual search for unsigned bands and solo artists which will give new artists from the UK and Ireland the chance to compete for a slot on one of Worthy Farm's famous main stages at this year's festival.
The competition is open to all bands and performers who are not signed to a major label and based in the UK or Ireland. Entrants from any musical genre can follow in the footsteps of previous ETC competitors, who include Stornoway, Scouting For Girls, We Have Band, Golden Silvers, Ellen and the Escapades, and The Subways.
Entries for Glastonbury Festival's ETC2011 will be FREE during the competition week (ETC rules and conditions apply).
Once the entries are in, a newly-recruited panel of 40 of the UK's top music bloggers will help compile a longlist of 120 acts. The longlist will then be whittled down to a shortlist of 10 artists by judges including Glastonbury organisers Michael and Emily Eavis, before a live final showcase in April decides the winning act.
Glastonbury has been running a competition to find the greatest Emerging Talent for the last six Festivals, and the winners will be following in the footsteps of previous winners Ellen and the Escapades (2010), We Have Band (2009), Golden Silvers, and The Travelling Band (2008), Liz Green (2007), The Deadbeats (2005), Blackbud, and The Subways (2004).
Glastonbury's Emerging Talent Competition is the best way to get your music listened to by many of the stage and area programmers involved in the Festival.
For more information, and full details of the ETC2011 rules and conditions, please see www.glastonburyfestivals.co.uk.
Tickets have sold out for next year's Glastonbury Festival which runs for five full days from Wednesday 22nd until Sunday 26th June 2011 across a 1000 hectares (2470 acres) of beautiful countryside at Worthy Farm, Somerset. There will be no more chance to get tickets until sometime later in 2011.
