Over 370 bands have entered, sending their tracks to be assessed by the Harman judges. The rules of the competition forbid bands with fewer than three members from entering, so over 1100 band members are currently awaiting the results of the final.
The winning band get to play at the prestigious Koko club in London, to record for a day with a name producer in a top studio, and to play at one of the UK's Summer 2007 outdoor festivals. They'll also net a PA rig from Harman Pro UK with a total value of £10,000.
The runners-up stand to bag some great mics and headphones as prizes. And for merely entering the competition and not doing anything else, bands still get a series of discounts on selected AKG gear.
There are another three months to go until entrants find out whether they've made it to the second round, so there's still time to join the crowd of waiting hopefuls, with the closing date for entries being 2 February 2007.
