Summary

The Blues, Jazz & Folk Music Society of Marietta, Ohio will hold its 17th Annual “River City Ohio Blues Competition” on February 20 and 21, 2009 at The Lafayette Hotel in historic downtown Marietta. For the 17th year, Blues bands and solo/duo blues acts will compete for cash prizes and BJFMS sponsorship to The Blues Foundation’s International Blues Challenge (IBC) held every year in Memphis, Tennessee.


The River City Ohio Blues Competition is the oldest and largest blues talent competition in Ohio, with 18 competition slots to be filled by local and regional blues acts. Blues bands and solo/duo blues acts will compete for more than 2 days to win the grand prize of $1,000 cash and sponsorship to the 2010 IBC in Memphis, TN. Second and third place winners will receive $200 and $100 cash prizes respectively. The Competition has no restrictions on age or location, however all competitors must be blues acts. All IBC competitors must win sponsorship at an IBC preliminary. If your blues act has not won where you live, here's another opportunity to get to Memphis for the 2010 IBC.
