https://www.thebigbreakcontest.com/voteWhat is The Big Break?
The Big Break began as a competition for Colorado bands for a prize of winning a fully-produced music video from producer Eyal Filkovsky. The contest was created by Denver’s Trevor O’Connor of Trevor Rocks Denver, and Eyal Filkovsky. The Big Break is now located in Pennsylvania to give a local band a chance to win BIG.
How does the Big Break Pennsylvania Edition work?
- Round 1: Bands are given 3 months to create a homemade music video. This can be done with iPhones, Point-&-Shoot cameras, and iMovie/Windows Movie Maker.
- Round 2: Fans have ONE MONTH from the competition launch date to submit their votes. You are allowed to vote for more than one band, but only ONCE per band. The top 9 – 12 bands will continue to the next round.
- Round 3: 3 nights, 3 – 5 bands per night, will go head to head in a live battle of the bands-style competition. Several factors will come into play for judging. One band from each night will continue on to the final round.
- Round 4: The final showdown. The finalists battle again and the winner will walk away with the grand prize: a full produced music video! The night will end with 2012s TBB winner, Your Own Medicine, taking the stage.
