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 2009 event,

admin@capefearblues.org or call 910-350-8822.  Please provide all necessary contact
information, including a mailing address and active phone number.  Thank you.
