Calling Unsigned Bands
UC Berkeley has launched a Live Album Contest in conjunction with its upcoming Caltopia festival. It's actually a pretty sweet deal. Yours truly is one of the judges, but that doesn't mean I can't help put the word out too. Instead of paraphrasing the press release, I'll serve it straight up:
UC Berkeley’s Caltopia Live Album Contest
We’re creating a compilation album of the best unsigned Bay Area musicians for UC Berkeley’s Caltopia VI, recognized as the largest experiential College Lifestyle Festival in the nation for 18-24 year olds and the two greatest days on Planet Earth!
Unsigned Bay Area artists from all genres of music are encouraged to enter and submit an original composition online to win a place on the album and chance to play live at the event. Music must be appropriate for all ages. Submission deadline is June 30!
A panel of independent judges will select 20 artists to be a part of the Caltopia Live Album experience. Winning artists will be contacted by July 15, 2008. (more >>)
