| What can I win if I enter? The 5 bands with most votes in each category will be
awarded Certificates confirming their status and providing a genuine seal
of approval with which to promote themselves. The 5 bands with most votes overall will get a free 2 month advertising campaign on TotalRock valued at over £500 ($1000). Their winning song will be given prominent exposure on the TotalRock playlist for 8 weeks and a podcast including an interview with the band and a selection of their songs will be created. |

an e-Certificate confirming your nomination in each category you enter.
Your song will be posted on the category's page along with a picture, a
link to your website, your profile and voting buttons. Your music will also
be played on special radio shows on TotalRock on Mondays at 2pm, Wednesdays
at 3am and Fridays at midday during the awards. We are planning a TotalRock
Survival Guide, containing advice on all areas of the music industry written
by experts in each field, including advice from successful bands. You will
receive a copy of that once it is ready. |
