TotalRock is hosting the first ever global unsigned band awards covering almost 60 different rock & metal genres. Awards will be given based on a combination of votes from a judging panel and from rock fans around the globe. This will give winning bands a massive stamp of approval and proof of their stature in the global rock market, and that’s something that cynical record companies will understand.

Bands/Artists must be unsigned or be released through a label that they control. See Terms & Conditions. Songs can be entered into any number of categories, but only 1 song can be entered into each category. Simply fill in the entry form for each entry you wish to make.  

You will receive 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. The songs will be available for streaming but not for download. 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.

The winning bands in each category based on public votes will receive winner's e-Awards confirming their achievement. A panel of judges will pick five overall winning bands from the category winners who will each receive advertising and promotion campaigns and a podcast of their music hosted on TotalRock valued at over £500 ($1000). Feel free to use TotalRock’s e-Certificates and e-Awards to promote your band in any way you wish.

The top overall winner will also get the opportunity to play at the Bloodstock Open Air Festival in August this year. and their winning song will be given prominent exposure on the TotalRock playlist for 8 weeks.

The Awards in each category will be:

• Category Champion
• Platinum
• Gold
