Do you wanna be a star? This is your chance! Join BAND-IT the first Original Band Contest of Arius City!

Create your own band, your character, your story and jump on the stage showing to the world your talent!

How it works?

• Band-it! is a contest reserved to music bands. The minimal amount of band members is 2, the max is 5.
• Ask to your friends to join the band, chose a name and make your own unique style!
• Fill the form at this page and join the contest!

And then?

• You and your band members will be contacted by our staff. At that point your band will be scheduled for a live performance, interviews , photoshoots, videoclips and much more.
• Every Friday , a band will be introduced publically and will be evaluated by a jury and public.
• A final chart with the votes collected through live performances, social media, website, etc… will declare the winner of the contest.

So this is like a real life contest?

• Exactly! Your band will be in the spotlight for the whole time. You are free to create gossips, scandals and whatever you think that would raise your popularity!
• Use your creativity! The look, the attitude , the quality. Like in real life try to make your own character unique and intriguing.
• You are free to use your own social profiles, or create one for the contest.

Ah, but wait. Do I need to play an instrument or sing?

• No! If you don’t want, you don’t need. Each band will be asked to choose 3 real pieces of music, not necessarily from the same real band. Your band’s popularity will be built on these three songs, so choose carefully.
• The stage performances will aim to show the audience the look, creativity and attitude of your band. The concerts will be studied in detail, the lights, the choreography. It’s up to your band to create the best show. But what matters most is what you do once you step off the stage. Consequently create your characters carefully and creatively

Can I play only in one band?

• No, you can play also in a second band, but with a different character and preferably a different avatar look.

How much does it cost to register for the contest?

• No financial contribution is required for registration. However, if you feel like it and if you have the chance, you can consider donating a small amount to the sim for the monthly cost. It will definitely be appreciated!

Ok good, so… there is a prize?

• Your prize will be the glory!!! Ah… and 10.000 L$ to the winning band plus more prizes!

How long does the contest last?

• The contest will end at the end of 2022. The winner will be announced during the Christmas holidays.
