The contest pits bands from nearly three dozens communities in Greater Boston, the North Shore, Merrimack Valley, South Shore, Cape Cod and the Islands.
The contest will work this way:
We’re asking local bands to upload a video of themselves performing an original song until Friday, April 20.
On Monday, April 23, we’ll kick off a regional competition across Eastern Massachusetts. Voters will be able to comment and tell us their favorites.
Voting for the first round will close on Friday, May 4.
The top two winners from each regional group (Boston/Greater Boston North, North Shore/Merrimack Valley, and Greater Boston South/South Shore/Cape Cod and the Islands) will go to a final round, which kicks off on Monday, May 7. The finals will run until noon Friday, May 18.
We’ll announce the winners on Monday, May 21.
