Don't miss out these great, one of a kind shows - especially the one where someone will be walking away with $40,000 worth of prizes!

The competition has so far been judged by Uncharted Sounds & Universal Music Canada. We are looking forward to announcing some exciting new judges and an MC for our beginning of summer show where one band will walk away with one huge prize. In this economy, can you really ask for more than $20,000? I don’t think so.
