Call for submissions to the Blues Aperitiv competition for new talents

From all the entries, a panel of judges will select seven runners-up who will play on the final night on Saturday April 13th, 2024 at the House of Culture in Šumperk. The finalists will present themselves to an expert international jury made up of publicists, musicians, promoters and, last but not least, to an experienced audience. The chairman of the jury is Ondřej Bezr, the Blues Alive program director.

From this final evening, two winners will go on to Blues Alive 2024 in November. The performer who receives the most votes from the audience will also get a chance to see the festival. Other performers who impress the jury or other members of the professional public at the Blues Aperitiv showcase may also receive invitations to play at Blues Alive or other Czech or international festivals. Successful graduates of Blues Aperitiv, for example, regularly perform on the summer stage of Blues Alive during the July festival in Boskovice.

Conditions for selection:

• Those interested in taking part in the Blues Aperitiv competition showcase and, if they win, in the Blues Alive International Festival, can send their applications to aperitiv@bluesalive.cz
• The deadline for submissions is March 1st, 2024.
• The application must include the artist name, band lineup, technical requirements, website, a current print-quality photograph, a brief band/performer profile, and two reliable phone and email contacts.
• Please submit your recordings in digital format. A minimum of three mp3 samples, or a link to a digital player (Bandcamp or YouTube type, but not streaming platforms such as Spotify, Deezer, etc.), should be sent with your application. Do not send CDs or other hard music media.
• Performers who have attended Blues Aperitiv in the past but have not won in the last 5 years are eligible to apply.
