Winner spotlight
This is the spot every band is playing for. One winner each month, up here for the whole month.
The first winner will be up here as soon as the first contest finishes. Their photo, their name and their links will live in this spot for their whole winning month.
Monthly contest
The contest is running now in the Facebook group. It starts with photos: bands drop their best band picture in the contest post's comments and members vote on the pictures there first. Then come the live videos. The winning band gets the spotlight on this page for the whole month.
It starts with photos. A band drops their best band picture — not a flyer — in the comments of the contest post in the Facebook group. That picture is the band's entry, and it goes up before any videos.
Voting starts with the photos, and it lives on Facebook. Members vote with their reactions on the band's picture in the contest post's comments.
After the photo voting, the videos come next. A band posts a live video of themselves playing a full song in the group. It has to be a real live performance. Promo clips and short teasers do not count.
The winning band is spotlighted on this page for the whole month, with their photo, their name and their links front and center for everyone to see.
Winners wall
Every monthly winner earns a permanent place on this wall. Win once, and your band stays here for good.
Winners will be added here as contests finish.
