National Student Music Awards details revealed
Details of this year's National Student Music Awards have been announced, with three regional heats set to take place in March.
The awards, which have been previously won by Delorentos, offer Third Level student musicians the opportunity to perform before members of the Irish Music Industry including journalists, broadcasters, A&R personnel, agents and bookers.
A panel of industry experts will pick 12 of the best bands to perform at three heats around the country.
Four selected entrants will compete at each of the three regional heats which take place in UCD, Dublin (6 March); NUIG, Galway (13 March) and Cyprus Avenue, Cork (19 March).
The overall final will take place in The Village, Dublin on 24 April.
The prize up for grabs includes recording time, a cash prize, CD duplication, rehearsal time, a media interview, consultation with a music lawyer and a photography session.
Closing date for entries is 12 February and entry is open to any act that has at least one member in full-time Third Level education in Ireland.
Demos should be sent to National Student Music Awards, Suite 49, 184 Lower Rathmines Road, Dublin 6.
