Only the most talented submissions will go through to the Live Rounds where artists will be judged by music industry guests based on their musicianship, songwriting and fan engagement. This means the winner of each Live Round is chosen based on pure talent and quality.
The Live Rounds also guarantee that ALL the artists who perform have the opportunity to play in front of industry professionals, providing them with great exposure and a platform to be noticed.
However, the Industry Pick isn’t the only way to make it through to the Grand Final… The fans will also get a vote at each gig, helping their favourite artist progress through to the next round to be in with a shot to play at the Isle of Wight Festival.
Those lucky enough to make it through the Quarter and Semi-Finals will perform in one big Grand Final, where our special guest judges will pick their overall favourite act who will be crowned the winner of the competition and will get to perform at this year’s festival!
The competition is also open to artists nationwide with an additional online voting element. Acts simply need to encourage their fans to vote for them online using their artist profile at www.hotvox.co.uk/artists. The artist with the most votes will be fast-tracked straight through to the Grand Final!
So, there are three ways to get to the Grand Final and in with a chance to perform at this year’s Isle Of Wight Festival:
– Getting through the Live Rounds on the ‘Industry Pick’
– Getting through the Live Rounds on the ‘Fan Vote’
– Fast-tracked straight to the Grand Final by winning ‘Online Public Vote’
This year’s competition is also being supported by ReverbNation, so not only does the overall winner earn a slot at this year’s festival but all Semi-Finalists will win 3 months free membership to ReverbNation.
