Gushcloud is currently having a virtual battle-of-the-bands competition called ‘The Gush Chase.’ The winner will be featured as one of the opening bands for GUSH 2012. It’s a great opportunity for you to become recognized! We will be selecting 3 winners for The Gush Chase, with the ultimate winner performing as an opening act at the 4,000-capacity Fort Mason Center, and 2 runners up receiving free tickets to attend GUSH 2012 in San Francisco.
Gushcloud would like to invite all bands to participate and I think you’ve got a good shot at it. To register for the competition, all you have to do is to create a public profile page on Gushcloud (http://gushcloud.com) and complete the form in ‘The Gush Chase’ tab under your profile. You will need a YouTube or Vimeo video of your band performing (a music video will do too.) However, time is limited as the contest ends before the 29th of July, so you’d wanna register as soon as possible.
Here’s more info on how the winners are selected:
Criteria 1: Number of subscribers you have (most important)
Build a fan base on Gushcloud by getting your friends and supporters to subscribe to you. Be sure to get the word out that you’re participating in the Gush Chase. Simply share your profile link via Twitter or Facebook. Replace ‘yourusername’ with what you chose when you created your account www.gushcloud.com/user/yourusername
Criteria 2: Number of posts you make
Start populating your Gushcloud account with interesting content, and be recognized for it. Keep gushing to get your score up. Stuff like your music videos, band articles, pictures of cool guitars, its all good.
Criteria 3: Number of gushes you receive
Put out your best material on Gushcloud, and the more gushes you receive on your story (the heart shaped icon button), the higher your score.
Just a note that all band members must be above 14 years of age by the August 25th 2012 and that your band contains 1-5 members (Music acts include solo singers, rock bands, DJs, YouTube artists etc.)
