CKDJ always plays Ottawa’s New Music and now we’re celebrating it in a big way with Ottawa’s New Music Fest.

We’re looking for the best Ottawa bands to battle it out online and on stage.

How it works

Bands (or solo acts) will submit their best song and a 2 minute video bio, along with some other info. We’ll post the song and video on our site and then the public will vote on who they like the best. From that vote, 3 finalists will be determined who will move on to perform live in front of an all-star panel of judges.

The Fest

On Monday November 21 the finalists will perform at Ottawa’s New Music Fest in The Observatory at Algonquin College.

The concert is FREE for Algonquin students. Admittance for non-students is $5.

The Prize

The winning act will receive a recording session courtesy of Algonquin College’s Music Industry Arts program. The winner will also have the opportunity to stage a showcase in front of distinguished music industry members.
