Live and Unsigned Music Contest You Tube Exposure Awards Get Underway!

The Live and Unsigned music contest You Tube Exposure Awards are underway, as acts battle it out once again. This time however the competition is purely off-stage, as acts who have been successful in either the Regional or Area finals mobilise their fans for the chance to win support slots and a place on the main stage with one of the Live and Unsigned partner festivals.

Videos of successful acts’ are hosted on the Live and Unsigned You Tube channel, and fans are encouraged to go and watch footage of their favourite band or act for a chance to help them win a support slot or a festival place.

All that supporters need to do is watch the video for a minimum of thirty seconds for their view to count towards the YouTube Exposure Award. The band or act with the most views will win a prize and this will be calculated according to highest daily average views (over thirty seconds) to ensure that all acts have an equal chance of claiming those coveted festival and support slots.

The traffic to the Live and Unsigned You Tube channel is hotting-up, as fans check out the best performances that the competition has to offer, take a look at the current leader board below to see who is heading toward a festival debut or headline act support slot!
