In conjunction with the Hodag Country Festival, country music radio
stations around the state of Wisconsin and the Upper Peninsula of
Michigan sponsor regional country band contests. The first place
winners of each region advance to the Hodag Country Festival to
compete on July 9th, 2010, for cash prizes and the title of Wisconsin
State Country Band Champion!
Winners of each region will receive a cash prize paid on a sliding
scale for competing at the Hodag Country Festival.
If
you're interested in competing in a regional country band contest, contact the
appropriate radio
station for entry forms and information.
Make
plans to attend the Pick-Off contest located nearest you. There is something in
store for everyone. Come as a contestant - the exposure is great! You may
generate bookings, plus you will have an opportunity to hear other bands from
your area. Not to mention, the winner will advance to the Hodag Country
Festival to compete for cash prizes and the title of Wisconsin State Champion.
Come as a spectator - you couldn't ask for a better time listening to live
entertainment performed by those who enjoy playing and singing for folks like
you, the country music fan.
