Time to apply for NXNE 09!

2008 hasn't even ended yet, but it's already time to start thinking about next year's music festivities.

Submissions are now open for NXNE, undoubtedly one of the biggest conferences of the year. Like the majority of the festivals, bands don't really make any money to play, but the exposure is huge. Suddenly music fans are everywhere. Even those Stillepost kids crawl out of their parents' basements and attend shows.

NXNE wants you to know that Canadian artists showcasing at NXNE are eligible for:

* $10,000 via the Rogers Fan Choice Award (NXNE 08 winners: The Midway State)
* $2,000 via the Galaxie Rising Star Award(NXNE 08 winners: Major Maker)
* an opportunity to be included in the NXNE Top 60 Tip Sheet – a list of NXNE showcasing artists sent to a database of close to 300 national radio programmers and music directors.

To make a submission, check out the Sonic Bids site by clicking here. They are also now accepting video submissions, which can be submitted by clicking here.. All submissions are due by January 31, 2009.

Rock on!
