| The Cape Fear Blues Challenge is sponsored by the Cape Fear Blues Society, an affiliate organization of The Blues Foundation. The CFBC band & solo/duo champions earn the right to compete at the renown International Blues Challenge held on Beale Street in Memphis, Tennessee. The Cape Fear Blues Challenge is uniquely staged on (or near) the first Saturday of November, making it one of the final regional blues contests in America to be held just prior to the IBC. Acts that compete at our Challenge are vying for a variety of prizes donated by sponsors from within the Wilmington music community. Past awards have included recording packages, merchandise certificates, paid gigs, instruments, accessories and (of course) cold, hard cash. We thank you for your interest in the Cape Fear Blues Challenge. For more info on the 2010 event, email admin@capefearblues.org or call 910-350-8822. Please provide all necessary contact information, including a mailing address and active phone number. Thank you. |
