Big band contest in the Upper Bergisch: 5,000 euros are waiting for talents!

In the Oberbergische Kreis, an exciting band contest will be held next year to appeal to young talents aged under the age of 30. The competition, which is endowed with a total of 5,000 euros in prize money, is carried out in cooperation with the Kulturstiftung Oberberg and the Kreissparkasse Cologne. Musicians and bands who present their own songs and have no fixed record contract are cordially invited to participate. This is an excellent opportunity for creative minds to present their music to a wider audience and step out of anonymity.

prize money and appearance in Homburg Castle

The application deadline for the contest ends on Friday, January 31, 2025. The selected award winners are determined by a jury and not only receive the financial prize money, but also individual funding. This can be done, for example, in the form of professional studio recordings, stage coaching or the purchase of musical instruments. The winners also expect an exclusive live appearance in the summer of 2025 in the picturesque Homburg Castle, which is a fantastic platform for every young musician. In addition, Radio Berg offers the opportunity to present the winning band in their programs, which is more visible to the artists, as Oberberg-aktuell.de reported.

exclusively musicians and bands from all over the Oberberg district can apply as long as they are under 30 and present their own songs. Individual artists are also welcome as long as they have a recognizable connection to the region. The applications can be submitted online at the Kulturamt of the Oberberg district as well as directly in Nümbrecht, such as Radioberg.de . This is a golden opportunity to revitalize the local music scene and put fresh sounds in the spotlight.
