The WORLD of MUSIC is Coming together
NEXT DATE: SUMMER 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!

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."

Ways of Performing at the Festival of Musicians
for Bands, Singers, Songwriters

A. Performing for Fun:

The Festival of Musicians is 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 stages or in a lawn chair beside your tent 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".
2. Giving "Kudos" is how the audience votes for their favorite acts. When they hear a Band, Singer, Songwriter they like, they give "Kudos" to the Act. Judges also grade performances. 
3. Performers redeem "Kudos" for cash!  

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

5. 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 all regular admission tickets sold at the gate will be distributed back to the acts via the audience 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 for each "Kudos" token collected. Acts with the MOST "KUDOS" advance along to the highest level stages of "The Gauntlet"

C: FEATURED ACTS: There is only one way 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.
