Y108 $30,000 Rock and Roll Challenge Now Accepting Registration

Description: The Spring Music Festival is a celebration of music that showcases both established and independent bands from North America. Under the festival umbrella, The Rock and Roll Challenge is a tournament-style modern rock talent search that will award one band $25,000 in prizes and services, a growing cash award currently valued at $5000, and be crowned the festival’s “Rock and Roll Champion”.

The prize package is designed as a “Development Package”, where one up-and-coming artist will be provided with a group of prizes designed to help them record, market a single to radio, perform at high profile shows and gain overall awareness and recognition. A CD compilation featuring the best bands in the contest will be released in April 2011 and will be played on Y108 FM throughout the entire weekend of the festival in May 2011. You do not have to apply to the festival in order to qualify for this contest; it’s 100% free to enter. Click here to enter
