A blues guitar contest ... Electric one day acoustic the next .. Even with some cash prices the size of the audience could be quite large... Venue?? Is there an open space , park you could use for a weekend . Insurences can be the big downfall on this but in the right park these are sometimes NOT an issue. THen the pa and cash prices are all you need. Get a record company to back the event .Fender ???. Martin?? Gibson ?? Resenophonic ?? .. dadario strings.. Local blues so .. You have to come up with rules and let the musisicians know ahead of time (for three Months at least ) what week end and what money is possable to give up a paying gig .
      CAtagorys: Blues Guitar .   Slide Guitar   Blues mandolin (Doo wop ???).
                         : On the electirc day you could have a "cutting heads " compitition judged by the audience. Very cool and fun ..
                  Food and t-shirt venders pay to be there . If you have an organization this thing works !! All the best , Guy
