Glastonbury Emerging Talent Competition

• 9th Jan 2009

The first stage of this year's Glastonbury Emerging Talent Competition is under way, with entries now being accepted for UK bands to win the chance to play at the festival this summer. Previous winners of the competition have included The Subways and Scouting For Girls.

Now in its fifth year, entries will be judged by Michael and Emily Eavis, Q editor in chief Paul Rees, and Radio 1's Huw Stephens. They will select a shortlist of 12 finalists who will be invited to play a 20 minute set at the Pilton Working Men's Club. The act deemed the best of these twelve will then play either the Other or Pyramid Stage at Glastonbury 2009.

The closing date for submissions is 26 Jan.
