BBB Application Information sheet
Applying for the BBB is a competitive process. Your bands artistic integrity and overall musicianship is most important and so a good quality recording is essential however the following areas will also help strengthen your application:
Band Biography
Your bands bio should tell us what your band has done, when, where you have performed and what your major achievements as a band are.
Band Photos
You need to provide us with the best quality photos possible – if you are selected to perform in the BBB these images will be used in our promotional material. The photos need to be high res so they can be used for printed marketing material e.g. posters.
Video
Video footage or youtube links should be the best quality possible because as well as it giving us an idea of who you are and how you perform we can use this footage for promotional material.
Support Letters
Support letters are important as they indicate if there are any organisations in your community who are able to provide logistical help for your band.
Tech specs
Provide comprehensive technical requirements of everything you need.
