Social media networking website Bebo has teamed up with independent artist site Music Nation to launch Bebo Onstage, a competition to reveal an emerging band and launch its career. The winning band will receive a record deal and stage time at this year’s SXSW festival in Austin, Texas.
The partnership will expose independent and emerging artists to a global audience while spreading the Bebo and Music Nation name. Bebo already has 40 million users worldwide, and this new effort may help it become more competitive with services like Facebook and MySpace in the multimedia realm. In addition to a free trip and performance slot at SXSW, the winning band will be given a joint record deal with Original Signal/Epic Records.
