Summary
PLANETROX is a worldwide music competition whose mission is to discover the best new bands and expose them to a wider international audience. Artists from the USA will be able to sign up on Sonicbids for their PLANETROX auditions and the chance to play at the next Envol et Macadam Festival in Quebec City, Canada which will take place on September 6-8, 2012.
Description of the Prize:
- The winners will fly to Quebec City to perform at the 2012 Envol et Macadam Festival
- The prize includes a live performance of 20 minutes on one of the outdoor stages of the Envol et Macadam Festival 2012, airfares for the winning band members ($5,000 USD maximum budget is available flight/travel costs that exceed this amount are the responsibility of the band) plus internal travel to the hotel from the airport, four-star accommodation in central Quebec City for 4 nights, free pass for the Festival and promotion of your band in festival communications.
- The prize only includes what is specifically detailed above, all stopovers and additional nights required by the band will be at their expenses. Envol et Macadam will provide a shuttle service from the airport to the hotel but the band will be responsible for the trip back (the taxi is usually around 40$ for that distance)
How does PLANETROX work? Submit your band through Sonicbids (US artists ONLY) and pick your best song (original compositions only). If you are selected you will be chosen as one of the 10 finalists to compete in the PLANETROX competition.
PLANETROX USA IS A THREE-STEP PROCESS:
- Each participating band will submit their original song for consideration through Sonicbids before June 13th, 11:59pm (EST : Eastern Standard Time) and a panel of international industry judges will choose 10 finalists throughout the country.
- The 10 finalists will be contacted to send a live performance video of their song to the Envol et Macadam committee. An online public voting process will then follow from June 18th to July 1st and the winner will be chosen by the results of this public vote combined with a panel of industry judges. The judging process will be weighted as follows- 25% based on public vote and 75% based on a panel of industry judges.
- The winning band will be invited to perform at one of Canada's biggest live music events, the Envol et Macadam Festival in Quebec City on September 7th or 8th 2012
