SPRING BREAK 2010 March 12, 13, 14.

The Festival of Musicians takes place just minutes from "the worlds most beautiful beaches" in Gulf Shores Alabama.

The WORLD of MUSIC is Coming together
SPRING BREAK 2010

We are planning for this to be one of the best music festivals in history.
It will certainly be one of the most MUSICAL!

"This is an INDEPENDENT MUSIC festival created by musicians for musicians. Everyone involved pitches in on the marketing and chores and also shares in the REWARDS. Our goal is to unite musicians in a creative forum  creating a spectacle that will bring us, individually and collectively,  before the eyes of the world."

There are several ways to perform at the Festival of Musicians

A. Performing for Fun:

The Festival of Musicians is fun FOR ALL MUSICIANS.

 We encourage all musicians to bring their instruments and be prepared for a weekend of playing. Whether it be on the main stage or in a lawn chair beside your pickup truck with a few friends. 

B. $The Gauntlet$

$ RUN the Gauntlet $

• Each Competing Act will "Run the Gauntlet", performing on a series of stages.
• The BEST ACTS advance to the final stages and big star status! 

Here is how it works...

1. Spectators receive voting tokens called "Kudos". Giving "Kudos" is how the audience votes for their favorite acts. When they hear an Act they like, they give "Kudos" to the Act. Judges also grade performances. 
2. Performers redeem "Kudos" for cash!  

3. Each "Kudos" token also equals 1 vote. 

4. The acts with the most "Kudos" and highest judges ratings advance to the final stages of the Festival of Musicians GAUNTLET.

Acts that successfully run the gauntlet will leave the festival much richer than they came. Festival of Musicians will contribute up to $100,000 in "House KUDOS"!

"Kudos"

 There are 2 types of "Kudos"

"HOUSE Kudos" and "HEARTFELT Kudos"

"House Kudos" comes with your tickets at the gate. Festival of Musicians will circulate up to $100,000 in "House Kudos" to get the ball rolling! 25% ($3.00) per ticket of regular admission tickets sold at the gate will be distributed back to the acts through "Kudos"!

"HEARTFELT Kudos" is "Kudos" that festival goers purchase for acts they really like. There is no limit to how many of these will be distributed.

Performers are allowed to have "Kudos Collectors" circulate in the crowd after each performance collecting "Kudos"!. 

Acts redeem "Kudos" for cash at $.50 each. Acts with the MOST "KUDOS" advance along to the higher level stages of "The Gauntlet"

AWARDS "Festival of Musicians Artist of the Year" Awards

Gauntlet Finalists become FEATURED ACTS and perform in concert for the entire festival audience. 

The highest rated finalists earn the titles of 

"Festival of Musicians BAND of the Year"

"Festival of Musicians SONGWRITER of the Year."

"Festival of Musicians SINGER of the Year."

of those three, one will become the;

"Festival of Musicians ARTIST of the Year."

C: FEATURED ACTS: There are three ways to become a featured act. 

1. Qualify the highest in your category in "The Gauntlet" and you become one of the featured acts for that evening.

2. Be pre-approved as a Showcase act.

3. Be a big bad famous act that can guarantee lots of ticket sales.

Tell us about your act.
