BATTLE VIR WOODSTOCK III
Battle Vir Woodstock is entering its third year.
This year, the Battle will extend itself to 17 Shows, 10 cities and 85 bands
will be accepted around the country to join this event.
Unlike previous BVW's, this year's event will not be televised. It is
strictly a live contest. The winning band will not only get to perform on
the main stage at Woodstock in a headline slot, but will also walk away with
ten thousand rand in cash and several smaller prizes.
Battle Vir Woodstock is a simple and very straight forward contest.
Woodstock organizers judge bands on a handful of elementary criteria: can
you promote your band, can you pull people, can you handle yourself well on
stage and are you professional in conduct on stage and off stage.
There are regional heats and semi-finalists. Some bands will be chosen to
enter Woodstock even if they don't get through the actual competition.
Other bands will be chosen to play the festival because their fans voted
them in. But just one Battle band will get a headline slot and the pot of
cash!
