Glastonbury’s Emerging Talent Competition now open for UK & Irish bands

Glastonbury Festival has announced the details of its 2019 Emerging Talent Competition.

The competition is run by the festival annually and it gives new UK and Ireland based acts of any genre the chance to compete for a slot on one of the main stages at this year’s festival.

The winners of the competition will be awarded a £5,000 Talent Development prize from PRS Foundation to help take their songwriting and performing to the next level. Two runners-up will also each be awarded a £2,500 PRS Foundation Talent Development prize.

Artists from any genre can enter the 2019 competition for one week only from 9am Monday 28th January until 5pm Monday 4th February 2019 here. The competition is free to enter.

Previous winners of the competition include Josh Barry, Flohio and Izzy Bizu.
