UP-and-coming bands have been given the chance to take to the stage at this year's Bingley Music Live.
Its annual Emerging Talent is looking to give unsigned acts a platform to play on the same stages as international platinum-selling artists, at the festival held between September 1 and 3.
Organisers Bradford Council has teamed up with The Exchange arts venue in Keighley to host the competition which will take place over April and May to find the best artists and bands across Yorkshire.
Applications will be whittled down to a shortlist of 24 artists/bands that will be drawn into four heats.
One act from each heat will go through to play in the final and will be joined by four other acts from across the heats. The eight acts will battle it out in the final and four acts will be selected to play at the festival. All winning acts will be determined by a panel of judges.
Applications are now open with all details of the competition and application forms available at exchangearts.co.uk/emerging-talent-competition-2017/. The closing date for applications is 5pm on March 22.
