From Singapore to New Zealand to the far North, interesting band submissions have been pouring in, ready to fight for their place on the billing. Now it's time for the difficult process of preselection in our living room, which is already bursting at the seams, giving you a slight idea of all the work and organized chaos that lie ahead.
That's it already about the current state of affairs surrounding the New Blood Award. All we have left to say is to thank you for over 2,000 applications from all around the globe. We at the SUMMER BREEZE and METAL.DE teams now ask you for a little patience for the preselection. Soon we will give you more information on the newly designed New Blood Award homepage.
But listen up! In 2012, coinciding with the 15th anniversary of SUMMER BREEZE, the sixth round will be held, and you can obviously start applying for a slot already. All submissions that have reached us after March 31st, 2011 will automatically enter the preselection for next year.

NEW BLOOD AWARD 2011

It's a small anniversary for the NEW BLOOD AWARD this year, as it's round five for our newcomer contest. The winners of the last few years have already shown what different kinds of talent exist in our scene, who find a platform at SUMMER BREEZE. This mix is the essence of an extraordinary newcomer contest which presents a little change in 2011, making it even more interesting for all of you. While limited to the German-speaking countries in the last few years, the NEW BLOOD AWARD finally goes international, getting ready for the competition from near and far. As of now, we welcome all applications from non-German-speaking countries, taking the contest to the next level.
The NEW BLOOD AWARD is one of the most important prizes for young, up-and-coming metal bands. The winner's from the last few years – STITCH, FUCK YOUR SHADOW FROM BEHIND, SECOND RELATION and BLEEDING RED – have shown there are high-quality bands in the underground and that it's time to offer international bands a platform too.
Tradition has it that the winners will get the chance to open the SUMMER BREEZE festival on one of the open air stages, presenting their material to an expert audience at one of Germany's biggest festivals.
Furthermore, the band will receive the specially made NEW BLOOD AWARD on one of the open air stages.
About the conditions:
You have no deal, but loads of potential?
You want to put up your material in an international competition?
What are you waiting for? Send us your demos and self-released albums before March 31, 2011. In order to provide all participating bands with equal chances, we will not cover any travel and accomodation costs. Please take this into consideration before submitting your material.
