After the entry period closes, a panel of 30 of British music writers will compile a longlist of 90 acts, which will then be narrowed down to a shortlist of eight artists by judges including Glastonbury co-organizers Michael and Emily Eavis. In a statement, Eavis said: “We know how hard it is for new acts to take their first steps towards a career in music — particularly with the challenges facing small venues in this country — so the Emerging Talent Competition is a hugely important part of Glastonbury’s annual calendar.
