Band/Artist Sign Up Page

How it works:
Alternative Addiction's Next Big Thing is a monthly contest page where eight bands are featured and fans are encouraged to chose which band/artist they like most.  Your feature will seen by over 5,000 people every day.  That's 5,000 music loving fans, music industry insiders, A&R Reps, or any other music enthusiasts that regularly surf the pages of Alternative Addiction.

After two weeks, the contest will feature only the top four band with the most votes.  After three weeks only the top two bands will be featured.  At the conclusion of the month the winning band will be featured as "Indie Spotlight Band of the Month" for the following month, one of the most popular sections on the website.
