“Real People, Real Music, Real Talent” – VO5 Song Contest

Isle of Wight Festival

This slogan, now synonymous with Music Crowns concept, was carefully constructed to portray our passion for creativity, individuality and self-expression. One such competition currently championing this ethos is the VO5 Song Contest – looking for originality and self-expression as part of the judging criteria to pick a winner from a bevvy of UK and Ireland talent.

Check out more undiscovered talent on the Facebook page (https://apps.facebook.com/vofivesongcontest/).

You can view the growing shortlist of fantastic uploads from entrants such as Bethan Horton with her track ‘Get Over It’ and Gem O’Reilly performing ‘Believe’.
