It's that time of the year again as Glastonbury
Festival is pleased to announce details of its EMERGING TALENT
COMPETITION 2015, which is giving new acts based in the UK and Ireland
the chance to compete for a slot on one of the main stages at this
year's Festival.
The winners of the free-to-enter
competition will also be awarded a £5,000 PRS for Music Foundation
Talent Development prize, to help take their songwriting and performing
to the next level. Two runners-up will also each be awarded a £2,500 PRS
for Music Foundation Talent Development prize.
Acts
from ANY MUSICAL GENRE can enter the 2015 competition FOR ONE WEEK ONLY
from 9am Monday 19th January until 5pm Monday 26th January 2015 via the
official Glastonbury Festival website, at
www.glastonburyfestivals.co.uk. Previous ETC entrants include Stornoway,
Scouting For Girls, Treetop Flyers, the Subways and last year’s winners
M+A.
Once the entries are in, a panel of 40 of the UK's
top music writers will help compile a longlist of 120 acts. The longlist
will then be whittled down to a shortlist of 8 artists by judges
including Glastonbury organisers Michael and Emily Eavis, before the
live finals at Pilton Working Men’s Club in April decide the winning
act.
For more information, and full details of the ETC 2015 rules and conditions, please see www.glastonburyfestivals.co.uk.
