A nationwide competition, Unsigned and Online, has just been announced by Microsoft and MUZU TV in association with IMRO, and it aims to promote independent Irish music online.
The campaign challenges unsigned bands to creatively use a suite of Microsoft products, social networking and a smart online presence to promote their band and rise up through the MUZU TV leader board to compete for the top prize.
The band that secures the biggest online fan base at the end of the eight-week initiative will be crowned winner of the competition, and will bag a prize worth over €10,000.
It consists of a digital marketing campaign for the band across Microsoft platforms including Windows Live and MSN, an acoustic session in the MUZU TV studio and a lot in the line-up at Dublin's Academy venue on Abbey Street.
Bands can enter the competition via the Competition App on www.facebook.com/unsignedandonline and use their newly created band channel on Muzu.tv to generate views towards winning the competition.
