ABOUT THE COMPETITION

In a music world today where live shows are one of the biggest aspects of the industry this competition is all about the live performance.

THE PROCESS  

How it works

 

The competition is formulated to view aspects of each potential act from all angles, so we can research the acts with the most potential. We are open to acts of all types and genres. What sets us apart from other music competition platforms is our ability to create a platform that links artists to A&R, live events, music producers and more as you progress through the competition, especially at the later stages. Each stage gets more prestigious and bigger.

​

Application Online

Apply online for a chance to compete within the competition, if successful you will be invited to submit a video to us. We will then select the best videos from all submitted and invite you to perform in a live audition festival at an intimate music venue in your nearest city. During this stage acts are judged solely on musical ability and performance capabilities shown in the video.

 

Live SoundWaves Music Showcases

 

If your video submission is successful you will be invited to perform at a Live Audition SoundWaves Music UK Festival event at an intimate venue where you will compete for a place in The Checkpoint Stage. Verbal feedback will also be given to you after your performance during this stage and we only use carefully selected judges who's goal is to help and grow the artists they discover. This stage is also an opportunity to network with our in-house A&R.
