The Square Room has just announced Sound Off, a music tournament-style competition for area bands and solo artists that starts in September and runs once a month for five months, concluding with a final showdown in March.
The grand prize includes studio time at Rock Snob Studios, packaging and pressing of a CD EP, guaranteed radio airplay on WUTK 90.3 FM, and a headlining show at the Square Room.
Judges will select 25 contestants from all the entries, and those acts will be grouped in sets of five for each monthly performance. The rules says: "The 25 semi-finalists and 5 finalists will be judged on a variety of criteria. Crowd reaction will account for 30% of the scoring and 'celebrity judges' will score the remaining 70% of each band/musician's performance on various levels of skill such as songwriting, cover song, stage presence."
