InfamousBands.com Beta Bands get a shot at being the Featured Band for their channel for an entire year. That means that when we're out promoting InfamousBands.com to record labels, sponsors, venues, and industry execs, we're using YOUR band as the example of the kinds of bands we feature. Your band will be featured in hundreds of press kits, and dozens of press releases. Guaranteed Finals Spot The winner of each channel in the Beta program will also get a guaranteed spot in the finals of the first year's competition. $100 gift certificate to a major music retailer The top Beta Bands in each beta channel will receive a $100 gift certificate to a major music instrument retailer at the completion of the beta program. A chance to shine with limited competition Only 25 bands per channel will be allowed into the Beta program, so your band will definitely get noticed by the judges - and will have a much easier shot at making the finals than during the regular competition, where hundreds or thousands of bands will be competing for the same attention. CAN ANY BAND BE A BETA BAND? Bands are able to apply by invitation only. Not all bands will be accepted. We're going to choose bands that we think will actively participate in the program, and whose music is of high enough quality that they should be able to successfully attract a following. Part of the application process is to invite at least two other bands to participate in the program. An invitation code will be given to applicants to offer to other bands. (This is to demonstrate that you will take an active role in promoting the site if you are accepted into the program.) Once your personal invitation code has been used twice on our site, your beta application will be marked "ready" and will be reviewed by our judges. HOW LONG WILL THE BETA PROGRAM LAST? It depends. We'll be rolling out new features during the program, getting your feedback, and responding to the needs of our sponsors. We anticipate a 90 day beta from the date that we have all of our beta testers signed up, but it could be shorter or longer depending on many factors. HOW DO I APPLY?
