All seven Fimalists will be listened to by a bunch of National and Local music Industry Professionals who will score all artists on a variety of factors to decide which one artists will open the Rock City Main Stage at Dot to Dot Festival in May.<\/p>\n
WHY DO AN INDUSTRY PROFESSIONALS PANEL?<\/strong><\/p>\n Well, we try our best to keep things fair! Putting the seven finalists in front of well connected, Industry Professionals, whom they will all receive constructive feedback from means that regardless of who becomes the champ, they all both have the chance to learn what different significant music humans think of their music + potentially it might start a butterfly effect just as exciting as becoming Champ.<\/p>\n Several previous FSN Finalists have secured management, been booked for Splendour independently, as well as received key gig support slots. And that’s when we’ve had a mostly local panel – this year – thanks to the ‘online-only’ D2D special edition model, we have secured multiple huge National names who also listen in depth to all the Finalists.<\/p>\n WHO ARE THE NATIONAL INDUSTRY PROFESSIONALS?<\/strong><\/p>\n WHO ARE THE LOCAL INDUSTRY PROFESSIONALS?<\/strong><\/p>\n WHAT ARE THE FINALISTS SCORED ON?<\/strong><\/p>\n WHAT ABOUT IF THERE’S A TIE?<\/strong><\/p>\n If in doubt Chair of Judges Jackie P and Nusic Founder Mark Del will make final judgement call, where clarity is lacking due to no precise rule currently relating to the precise matter arising, decision will be made in the context of this question, \u201cdoes this align with the spirit of FSN?\u201d<\/p>\n x[\/vc_column_text][wvc_bigtext text=”WANT TO PLAY THE ROCK CITY MAIN STAGE?

HERE WE GOOOO\u2026 🥳<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n WTF ARE YOU GUYS DOING THIS YEAR? – <\/b>Great question you wise human being you. Obvs we were totally gutted when the news broke that Splendour was sadly not happening this year – and we did have to sit down and question whether it was worth the time and energy from our (mostly) volunteers to try and make FSN happen without the usual inspiring juicy carrot of a Splendour main stage slot. After weeks of deliberating, idea pondering, and chatting w the ridiculously supportive DHP fam, we together came up with a plan B.<\/span><\/p>\n Hopefully you agree, at the start of your career, the chance to have your music listened to by a bunch of Industry Professionals who can help you (if their ears like you!) is a great opportunity that can (as it has in previous FSNs) lead to butterfly effects left, right and splendour. Plus, DHP very kindly agreed to give the FSN 2024 Champ the opening slot on the main stage of Dot to Dot Festival – in Rock City main hall. So we\u2019ve swapped Nottigham\u2019s biggest festival for Nottingham\u2019s coolest festival.<\/span><\/p>\n Obvs, it would be a bit weird to have a final in the same room that the prize is in (plus we have two less months run up) so we\u2019ve decided to run the whole \u2018FSN process\u2019 online this year. The one brucey bonus that gives us, is we are trying our best to get some big National names in to be Industry Professionals this year, meaning that whilst \u2018only\u2019 one artist gets to play Rock City, all six<\/span> finalists will get their music listened to AND get written up feedback, from a bunch of local AND National music industry professionals.<\/span><\/p>\n By entering FSN 2024, you agree that should you make it to that online Final, you are open and accepting of positive, and constructive feedback.<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]SO WTF ARE THE RULES NUSIC? 🤔<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n Glad you asked\u2026<\/b><\/p>\n YOU MUST BE FROM OR LIVING IN THE GREATER NOTTINGHAM URBAN AREA – <\/b>Get your Google on if you don’t know what that is.<\/span><\/p>\n ALL-INCLUSIVE <\/b>\u2013 To encourage all musical genres and musical combinations to seize this opportunity, we have a few rules that aspire to encourage a diversity of participants in FSN that reflects both the incredible musical diversity across Nottinghamshire as well as our own founding principle about supporting all genres. FSN is not just about bands, as awesome as the bands of Notts are. So:<\/span><\/p>\n Details on these rules below.<\/span><\/p>\n MUSICAL DIVERSITY<\/b><\/p>\n RAW TALENT\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n WHO CANNOT ENTER?\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n Grey Area\/s \u2013<\/b> What if you are a new artist that includes members who used to be in one of the artists listed in \u2018Group One\u2019? This is where it gets reeaaalllll complicated. It wouldn\u2019t be fair to have pretty much the same artist get to play that main stage again would it? But also it wouldn\u2019t be fair for a band of six to be excluded because one of them played triangle as a session musician back in 2016. So. If your new artist contains the same humans as before, you cannot enter. If your new artist has two or more members of an artist listed in \u2018Group One\u2019 it must be at least four years since your old act got through. If you are the only member of a \u2018Group One\u2019 artist, in your new artist, and there are at least three of you in total, you may enter now. Unless you are the lead singer \/ front person, in which case again it must be four years since your \u2018Group One\u2019 artist made it. Sorry singers, but you are the key distinguisher of any artist. Sometimes there are downsides to being the star, but hey, you get all the groupies.<\/span><\/p>\n The FSN nerds amongst you will notice that there is not a \u2018solo artists\u2019 rule this year. But that\u2019s cos there\u2019s no public vote, meaning no disadvantage to being a solo artist.<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]2024 FSN Transparency Declarations (This will be updated weekly) =<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n CLARIFY YOUR DEFINITION\/S OF \u2018NOTTINGHAMNESS\u2019 PLEASE?<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n By entering #FSN2024 you agree to accept all the above and emit nothing but positivity, love and unicorns<\/span><\/p>\n x<\/span><\/p>\n PS \u2013 If you made to the end \u2013 big up.
