The Contest is open to Non-Professional & Semi-Professional Guitarists of all nationalities. An Entrant may not be a Professional Guitarist and may not be signed to any major label with world-wide distribution. Professional Guitarists are defined as a guitarist who is making 100% of his/her living from professional guitar endeavors such as teaching guitar lessons; touring full-time with a band; doing session work full-time. For example, if a guitarist teaches a few students or does some gigs, shows and sessions, they would not be considered a Professional Guitarist. We realise it is subjective defining what a Non-Professional Guitarist is but we are providing some general definitions for guidance. The qualifications of a Non-Professional Guitarist will ultimately be at the discretion of the the Children Of Bodom’s Management Team.

TIMING: Contest begins at 3:00pm BST on September 25, 2015 and continues until 11:59pm BST on October 9, 2015. Entries must be received by 11:59pm BST on October 9, 2015 to be eligible. Winners will be announced by October 16, 2015.
