All submission forms and songs will be reviewed by the Winery Music Awards qualifying committee. You will be notified by email if your entry is received by us before the entry deadline specified for each Elimination Round AND your music qualifies to compete in the Elimination Rounds. Each Round will accept only five artists to compete. If you are accepted to compete in one of the Elimination Rounds, you must be able to perform on the assigned date at the host Paso Robles, CA winery location selected for that Elimination Round. The Winery Music Awards staff may be able to assist in finding available lodging in the Paso Robles area but the artist is responsible for securing all lodging and for all lodging, meals and transportation expenses. All artists performing must be 21 years of age or older, or else have the written consent of a parent or legal adult guardian to enter the Competition.

What Did the Winner of The First Winery Music Awards Win, and What Are They Doing Now?
So, you want proof that the Winery Music Awards is a kind of launching pad for up and coming artists? We’re glad you asked, because if we position ourselves as the “Sundance” of music, we better back it up.

Back in 2005, we organized the first Winery Music Awards competition, an event that succeeded beyond our expectations, with regard to launching a new, original music artist out of a diverse mix of Finalists. The Grand Prize winner was “Threes and Nines,” a trio of talented under-20-year-olds led by a prolific writer with a fair amount of creative genius, took home $1000 cash, a recording contract with a Los Angeles-based music label, a shopping spree at a local music shop, and gobs of goodies from sponsors. And that was just the day of the Finals Award Presentation.

They then went on to be the featured local act at the long-established and respected Live Oak Music Festival, a showcase band at the California Mid-State Fair , the headline band for a concert at the famous Pozo Saloon in California’s Central Coast, and were awarded a spot for one of the tracks to play on during the hit TV show “What About Brian”. Their first CD release, titled “Threes and Nines,” and produced under the RNB Music label that they were awarded at the Winery Music Awards, is about to be distributed by Universal Music starting April 2007.
