    Welcome to Battle of the Bands III

    [​IMG]

    So, we are currently in the final round of BotBII, but it is time to start putting the thinking caps on for our next season.

    The theme of this season will be...

    LEGENDS LIVE FOREVER!!!



    The thing about life is, you'll never get out alive!

    Sadly, it comes to us all, and tragically for too many musicians, it seems to come all to soon.

    :rip_1:

    Although it is sad to lose someone we cherish, thankfully we live in an age where musical artists have a medium in which their legacy lives on from the Great Beyond, so we can continue to appreciate their talents and gifts, and that there is something of them left for posterity.

    Here is a chance to celebrate some of those talents that are no longer with us!

    So, for this contest you may select a band (who have lost at least 1 member) or solo artist, who, sadly, have passed on - but their music remains.

    [​IMG]

    There are a few rules for this contest though...


    • Bands featured in this competition can only include material which includes that person.
    For example, Pink Floyd incl Syd Barrett or Rolling Stones with Brian Jones etc, when they were active members of the band's line-up. ​

    • Individual Artists that originated in a previously featured band are fine, so long as it is not as being included as that previous band.
    For example, John Lennon is fine, but the Beatles are not (unless they are entered via the next point - see below). In this context, if a submitted song is Lennon performing a former Beatles song by himself/another band, that is fine, so long as it is not Lennon performing as part of the Beatles.


    • Ideally it would be preferred to not have to rely on previously featured artists at all, however a limited number (3) will be allowed for this, with 2 conditions.
    Firstly, if your heart is really set on using a previous featured band let me know, but have a back up ready. If there are more than 3, then all these will be entered into a lottery (of sorts) and the 3 will be determined by random.org. So best not to put all your eggs in that basket.

    The other condition to this is that no artist that has previously reached the Semi-Final stages & beyond are eligible for consideration here. Sorry.


    When?
    It all gets underway...

    Sunday, 20 September

    :party22:

    Up for Grabs!!!


    The Champion not only walks away with the title, but pockets a cool
    v$250,000
    [​IMG][​IMG][​IMG][​IMG]


    All that enter will get some part of a prize pool of over v$400,000!!!



    Including:


    v$50,000

    Finalist


    v$20,000

    2 Semi-Finalists


    v$10,000

    4 Quarter Finalists


    [​IMG]


    Get your thinking caps on!

    Still have a few days while BotB II Finale is completed so there is no rush to submit artist choices (by PM ofc), although as always first in, first served in terms of laying claim to any particular artist.

    New players are always welcome - the more the merrier - so join in on the craic!

    Feel free to put down expressions of interest, questions etc in here. :50:

    Personally, I hope that this is the case, that no previously used artists were featured again as there are so many bands out there, but am leaving the option open, but having a cap on it means that it minimizes these, so the emphasis is on new (to this series) acts.

    There should be no bar on entries. New comp new start. Hopefully we get loads new entrants who weren't part of the last game and they should be able to use who they want.
