After the success of last year’s show, the college is looking for four acts (solo artists or groups) to perform on the Sunday and Monday (5th and 6th) of the May Bank Holiday, at the South of England Showground in Ardingly, West Sussex.

The competition features a bumper prize package which includes performing at the spring show in May, but also a free recording session in the ESC Live Lounge and the opportunity to perform in front of thousands at the South of England Show in June.

Nigel Ryan, School Liaison officer at ESC and South East coordinator for the Royal Society of Arts, said: “We’re really excited to be taking over the music stage at Spring Live! again this year.

“Last year was a huge success where we were able to showcase our huge repertoire of talented students, include a number of local secondary schools.

“This year, we’re back and on the lookout for the next crop of talented youngsters to come and perform with us over the bank holiday weekend. We have four places up for grabs and you’ll be sharing the stage with a number of our very talented alumni.

“The two events in May and June are expected to attract a combined audience of more than 75,000 people, so this competition is the perfect platform to get your name out there as an up and coming artist.”

The competition is open to local school and college students across Sussex. Auditions can be submitted in audio and video files or via links to Soundcloud and YouTube channels.

All auditions should be sent to [email protected] by Friday April 26. Judges will contact the successful four by Monday April 29 and inform them about which day they will be performing. However, please ensure that you are available on both dates.
