The Benelux Reggae Contest started in 2010 as part of the European Reggae Contest and has now evolved into a respected contest for aspiring bands and artists who want to give their career a boost. Just look at last year’s winners Sunrockers, an outfit that drew attention at the Zwarte Cross Festival and got to play at Dutch national radio.

If you want to enter now it’s the time, and it’s open for contestants from Belgium, the Netherlands, Luxemburg, France and Germany. Closing date for registration is 20th January 2013 and you can find more information at www.beneluxreggaecontest.eu.
