Guitar Pro / "Next BendNote Talent" Contest

This guitar talent contest will reward one winner and allow him or her to launch into a professional musical career.

Guitar Pro will offer the lucky winner an endorsement contract and a Guitar Pro Extended collector’s boxed pack.

What is the “Next BendNote Talent”?

The Next BendNote Talent is an artistic springboard for would-be professional guitar and bass players. The rule is simple: participants register online on www.nextbendnotetalent.com/en and upload a video they have made on YouTube.

The 10 contestants with the most votes by visitors will be selected for the grand finale in Paris, which will take place in the “Divan du Monde” concert hall on December 7, 2012. Each will get to play his/her composition in front of a jury of experts made of Patrice Vigier (Vigier Guitars), Christophe Godin (of Mörglbl and Gnô), Olivier Morvan (co-founder of BendNote), and Ludovic Egraz (chief editor of Guitar Xtreme magazine).

One winner will be selected at the end of the contest. He or she will walk away with the following prizes: an endorsement contract and a Vigier guitar, an Orange amp, an endorsement contract with Guitar Pro, a Guitar Pro Extended boxed pack, an interview in Guitar Xtreme magazine, and a participation in BendNote alongside guitarists such as Guthrie Govan, Mattias Eklundh, Patrick Rondat, or Christophe Godin.

Registration is open until Thursday, November 15, 2012 on www.nextbendnotetalent.com/en.
