Unsigned Chicago bands just need an opportunity to stand out from the crowd. Listen up, locals: This is your opportunity.

It's the sixth annual Metromix Rock ‘n’ Vote contest. All rappers/metalheads/all-girl funk trio/twin brother singer-songwriters are welcome. Here’s how it works: Send us your demo. We’ll pick 10 favorites, and then metromix readers will listen to the finalists and vote on their faves. The top four acts will headline a free concert at soon-to-open River North spot LaSalle Power Co. (500 N. LaSalle St.). Even better: the grand prize winner from the concert gets a headlining slot at LaSalle Power Co. (date TBD) and the Rock Star Rider Treatment Package, which includes access to the green room, food and beer.

The deadline to enter has passed. Click here to read about this year's finalists!

SAVE THE DATE: Meet the Top 10 bands when we officially kick off the contest with a free concert by Hey Champ on April 17. Click here for details and to RSVP.
