Fourth Annual "Campground Contest" August 1, 2009

If you're a Folk Fest veteran, you know that a lot of great music can be heard around the camp on Friday and Saturday night as friends and family gather around the campfire. So, we decided to give all of those musicians a chance to compete to be heard by the entire Folk Festival crowd!

Solo, duo, and group acts are welcome. The Plain Label Stringband will judge the acts during the
break on Saturday afternoon. The winning act will have 15 minutes to play their hearts out in front
of the crazed Saturday night crowd and OPEN for the big closing set! They'll also win $30.30.

Note: In order to make the contest more about having fun and to put less pressure on the judges,
we've decided to not have "large" cash prizes.

If you'd like to enter the contest, please send an email which describes your music along with contact information to info@fotm.org and include "FOLK MUSIC CONTEST" in the subject line.

Congratulations to Eric Porter & Rich Janes, the 2009 winners of the Campground Contest!
