Record company RCA will scout for new artists at an upcoming concert, NME reports.
The label's RCA Live 1 event at IndigO2 on May 28 will have a "demo drop" stand that will allow audience members to submit their music by giving over their URL and band name.
RCA's A&R staff will listen to all the demos and the artist judged to be the best will win a day with a top producer in a London studio.
"RCA are constantly looking for great artists and great songs... We have a large and eclectic roster and we will consider music from any genre," explained the company's Craig Logan.
The Hoosiers, Sandi Thom, The Script, Sam Beeton and SugaRush Beat Company will play at RCA Live 1.
