Live and Unsigned is the UK’s biggest unsigned music competition for original artists and it’s open to

all genres. Each year the competition prize pool gets bigger and better as acts take to the stage and battle it out for equipment, festival slots, clothing, studio time and master classes. The competition’s aim is to find potential recording artists. Over 10,000 acts entered the competition last year and the Grand Final saw acts showcase their music in front of thousands of audience members and the judging panel which included Slade’s legendary front man Noddy Holder, Radio 1’s Annie Nightingale, Kerrang’s Alex Baker and RnB star Shola Ama. Judges set to join the panel in 2011 include Radio 1’s Huw Stephens, Radio 1’s Tom Deacon, Happy Mondays star Bez and Nigel Clarke from 90’s Brit pop band Dodgy.
