Are you an unsigned artist whose dream is to play the mainstage of one of the biggest UK festivals? Well here is your chance.

Glastonbury Festival are hosting the ‘EMERGING TALENT COMPETITION 2013’ competition once again, which will give new, unsigned artists from the UK and Ireland the chance to compete for a main stage slot at this year’s Glastonbury.

Acts from any musical genre can follow in the footsteps of previous ETC entrants, who include Stornoway, Scouting For Girls, We Have Band, the Golden Silvers, the Subways and the winners of the last contest, in 2011, Treetop Flyers.

Acts will be able to enter FOR ONE WEEK ONLY from 9am on Thursday 17th January until 5pm on Thursday 24th January. Entries to the competition are free.

To enter, acts will simply need to supply a link to one of their songs online (on YouTube, SoundCloud, Bandcamp,etc).

Once the entries are in, a panel of 40 of the UK’s best music bloggers will help compile a long-list of 120 acts.

The list will then be whittled down to a short list of 8 artists by judges including Glastonbury Festival Organisers Michael and Emily Eavis, before the live finals in Pilton in April which decides the winning act.

You can enter via the official Glastonbury website,
