YouTube is running a contest for unsigned musicians and bands.

Starting October 1, artists can submit videos which will then be voted on by the YouTube community.

There are chances to win in four categories including “best video,” “best live performance” and “most creative.”

Prizes include television exposure, new equipment, YouTube frontpage placement, high wattage press opportunites and much more.

To find out more, just visit YouTube for more information on how to enter, or watch the informational video here. Deadline for submissions is October 18, so get to it.
