The word is out! Our Maidstone Pride youth music competition just got a lot more accessible. We are thrilled to announce that COVER BANDS & SOLO ARTISTS acts are now officially invited to compete alongside original artists. If your teenager (anyone under 25!) has been hesitant because they don't write their own material, this is their moment to shine with their favourite songs. Let’s help them boost their social skills and self-esteem in a kind, welcoming environment. 🏳️‍⚧️
