? The prizes in the “BANDS” contest category ?

1st place prize: a 1,000-Euro Thomann voucher

Additional jury prize: a slot at the Impericon Festival + 500-Euro Thomann voucher

The contest winners will be performing at the festival in good company: As 2019 headliner, “Hollywood Undead” from California will make the crowd thrash with a new album and a mix of metal and hip-hop. Further top acts await you with Jesse James’ hardcore punk and metalcore group “Stick To Your Guns” and the Detroit melodic death metal band “The Black Dahlia Murder”. Various other acts from hardcore and metalcore genres are confirmed for the lineup, for example The Donots, Caliban, Deeznuts and more.

A bit of fame?

This much is clear: Even with the entry into the semi-final, i.e. the jury’s choice among the 25 best, you can make a huge step for your band’s career. Your logo will be seen on the Impericon homepage as well as on our Instagram account, Facebook page and here on the t.blog. We’re also sure that among the visitors will be organizers, bookers, talent scouts and/or producers. So with a little luck this could be a win-win situation for everyone involved.

Creativity & talent also in demand in other disciplines

In addition to bands, the Next Generation Contest is also looking for talented models, photographers and graphic designers. Cool prizes await the winners and runners-up in all categories. Detailed information can be found on the Impericon website at www.impericon.com/en/next-generation/

We wish you the best of luck!  Rock on! ?
