2007 Winery Music Awards Competition June 9, 2007

One of the Central Coast's most successful music events ever among local artists will be returning in 2007. Held on the grounds of select Paso Robles wineries, the Winery Music Awards competition showcases the best original, unsigned music artists in California and beyond with a backdrop of grapevines, stacks of wine barrels and the smell of fermenting wine in the air. The artists compete for significant prizes contributed by a variety of sponsor companies within and outside the music industry. A panel of notable judges influential in the music, entertainment and wine industries votes its choices for best artists of the competition. Artists are judged in the categories of originality, musicianship and, most importantly, marketability to the wine-consuming market. The competition is open to the music genres of: jazz, rock, blues, new age, acoustic, country, folk, soft rock, reggae' and adult contemporary.

The Winery Music Awards Elimination Round concert competitions are held on one Saturday each month from June to September, with the Final competition and Awards presentation in October.
