GBOB Challenge 2008 - Italy

Registering your band for the GBOB Challenge

The GBOB Challenge is open to all bands whether unsigned or signed to a record label. There is no pre-selection and no demos are required. All bands who register are guaranteed to play. In completing this registration form you are acknowledging that you have read and accepted the Rules and Regulations.

Bands entering The GBOB Challenge will not be asked to sign any licenses or any kind of management or recording contract. All we need from bands is the permission to use any of their photographs and music for purely promotional purposes. Bands only need to pay a small one-off registration fee per band member in order to enter.

The registration fee is £15 GBP (approximately $28 USD or 22 Euros) per band member. Fill out the form to the right and your National Director will contact you soon to arrange payment of the registrations fee.

You will not be officially registed for the GBOB Challenge until the registration fee has been paid in full. Registration fees are non-refundable unless your heat is cancelled or changed to a new date that is inconvenient for your band.
