LAUNCHPAD
Launchpad is a new initiative brought to you by Coke with the aim of launching previously unsigned New Zealand musicians into the stratosphere. If you've been playing together for a couple of years and feel that you're ready to take the next step but don't know how - Launchpad could be the kick-start you need.

How it works:
There'll be four rounds of judging throughout the year with all genres of music in with a chance to win. Three finalists in each round will be chosen by a panel of judges; the winner in each round will be chosen by a public vote conducted over the internet.

Once you have entered your song, unless you inform the judges otherwise, it will be eligible to compete in all subsequent round i.e. if you enter in time for the first round but do not win you will also be in contention for rounds 2 through 4.

What you win:
Each of the four winning entrants will have a music video worth $10,000 produced for the track of their choice, make a live appearance on Space, feature in a profile in Rip It Up magazine and get a helping hand with PR to introduce your music to radio and the recording industry.

Closing Dates:
Round One 28 February, 2003
Round Two 11 April, 2003
Round Three 30 May, 2003
Round Four 11 July, 2003

What to send:
A brief biography [including a photograph of the band] A CD with the song you want a video to be made for.

Where to send it:
Launchpad
c/o Satellite Media Group
PO Box 10218
Dominion Road
Mt Eden
Auckland.

Conditions

- Any of the prizes may be removed from the list or substituted with an alternative prize.
