Glastonbury Festival Launches 2011 Emerging Talent Competition

Glastonbury Festival has announced details of its Emerging Talent competition, which will give new artists from the UK and Ireland the chance to play at this year's festival.

The competition, which is open to entrants from any musical genre, opens on Monday (January 17) for one week only.

Once the entries are in, 40 of the UK's most high profile bloggers will select a longlist of 120 acts.

A panel of judges, including Glastonbury organisers Michael and Emily Eavis, will then select a shortlist of 10 artists who will take part in a live final showcase in April.

Previous entrants include Stornoway, Scouting For Girls, We Have Band, the Golden Silvers, Ellen and the Escapades and the Subways.

Artists can enter the competition now at the Glastonbury Festival website, www.glastonburyfestivals.co.uk.

Glastonbury takes place in Somerset from June 24-26. Tickets have already sold out.
