Lee Cooper National Student Music Awards 2005

The National Student Music Awards in association with Lee Cooper jeans are currently accepting demos from bands and artists across all musical genres.

Two Irish semi-finals comprising of four acts each will compete at UCC on February 23rd and UCD on March 3rd with the final taking place at the Temple Bar Music Centre on March 24th before a select panel of Industry judges comprising representatives from National radio and Record Labels.

The prizes for the winning band includes recording time at Grouse Lodge, a Radio session, potential slot at the G5 festival, duplication of CD's and the opportunity to compete at the UK final in London in May where the prizes will include recording time at Abbey Road Studios, a BBC Radio Session and an Independent Record deal.

The NSMA acts as a good showcase opportunity for new and emerging acts and through NSMA’s close links with UK record labels, broadcasters and promoters we look forward to identifying a number of promising Irish acts and help them get noticed in the UK.

One member of each act must be in full-time third level education in Ireland at the closing date (Feb 7th) and the music must be original.

Send demos to NSMA, PO Box 8169, Dublin 6w.
