The Competition
Since 2008, Guitar Idol has been the leading outlet for guitarists across the world to show their talent, find an audience, win some serious prizes, and launch a career in the music industry. Last year our finalists were chosen from over 1000 entries across 50 countries and represented the best emerging players on the planet. The Sold out final at the 100 Club in London was the gig that changed their lives and the winner walked away with a prize bunddle worth over £10,000.
