About the competition:

The Next Big Thing's goal is to prospect a serious new country artist, and provide them with key career-development resources. They hope to provide a solid introduction to the greater Canadian music industry. Performers may range from a single vocalist/guitarist, to a full band, and should be from the "country" genre (i.e. mainstream, traditional, contemporary) or country-related genres such as bluegrass and roots.



Each artist selected for one of the three semi-final dates will perform their original music for a music industry panel. Then, the finals show will feature the winner from each semi-final week, performing for a panel of Canadian music industry professionals. On this exciting evening, one winner will be chosen to receive the grand prize package.
