MONROE’S LIVE and iRadio are hosting a digital battle of the bands with videos to be submitted online this month and heats taking place in November.
Bands looking to take part should submit a YouTube track through Facebook. Those considered the best by a panel of judges from iRadio and Monroe’s Live will choose the videos that go through to a round of live Facebook voting. Thereafter, the top 15 acts, plus a ‘wild card’, will go through to the live stages at Monroe’s Live.
The winner will receive two days’ recording at Grouse Lodge; €4,000 cash; one month’s free recording space at Galway Rehearsal Studios; a €1,000 photography shoot; a €1,000 iRadio ad package; a €3,000 video shoot at Monroe’s Live; a €500 sound to light voucher; a year’s Kingfisher gym membership for four; a year’s supply of Subway; and a year’s free access to Monroe’s Live for four.
Entry is already open and continues until October 14. The heats will take place in Monroe’s Live on Thursday November 14, 21, and 28, and December 5, with the final on December 12.
All will be hosted by iRadio’s Fergal D’Arcy.
