We are accepting the band's submissions in the old fashioned way - bands can send us their demo CDs, which should contain at least three songs. Polish winning bands will be invited to perform at a series of concerts across the country while winning international bands will be invited to the festival.

The Jurors

The judging panel comprises of music professionals:

Jurek Owsiak is Pol'and'Rock promotor, and music journalist and radio presenter.
Andrzej Puczyński is a sound engineer, composer, music producer and a CEO for the Polish branch of Polygram Polska / Universal Music Polska. He also owns a recording studio.

Concerts & Prizes

Jurors base their decisions on a series of live shows, where they get to see how a band interacts with the audience and if they have that special spark it takes to perform for the audience at the massive Pol'and'Rock Festival. The artists get a chance to present their best songs during short, 20-minute long sets. All concerts have free entry and feature performances by famous Polish bands.
