Young musical hopefuls could have the chance to play at the festival with Glastonbury Festival's Emerging Talent Competition, the winning prize being a slot on one of the main stages at this year's festival. The winners of the free-to-enter competition will also be awarded a £5,000 PRS for Music Foundation Talent

Development prize, to help take their songwriting and performing to the next level. Two runners-up will also each be awarded a £2,500 PRS for Music Foundation Talent Development prize.

Acts from any musical genre can enter the 2015

competition, which runs for one week only, from 9 a.m., Monday, 19th January, until 5 p.m., Monday, 26th January, via this website: http://www.glastonburyfestivals.co.uk">www.glastonburyfestivals.co.uk Previous entrants include Stornoway, Scouting For Girls, Treetop Flyers and The Subways.

To enter, acts will need to supply a link to one original song on SoundCloud, plus a link to a video of themselves performing live (even if it's only recorded in a bedroom).

Once the entries are in, a panel of forty of the UK's top music writers will help compile a long list of 120 acts. The long list will then be whittled down to a shortlist of eight artists by judges, including Glastonbury organisers, Michael and Emily Eavis, before the live finals at Pilton Working Men's Club in April to decide the winning act.
