PEAK Boot Camp in Full Swing, Announce Twitter Hashtag
August 28, 2010 by admin
Wow, the camp is underway! After an incredibly close, shockingly evenly matched, pathetic-for-the-staff hockey game last night, we’re all slightly aching but ready to go for the first full day at the PEAK Performance Project Boot Camp! Grant Lawrence from CBC Radio 3 is teaching our PEAK Artists the finer points of making friends with the media downstairs while we catch up with all the great content that’s been created by our Top 20 PEAK Artists in preparation for the camp! We’ve got a new Video page set up with clips from the camp, challenges and whatever other video content we just have to share with you!
We also introduced the new official Twitter hashtag for all PEAK Performance Project related Tweets, check out #PeakPP to see what’s happening!
Challenges for our Top 20!
Every year our Top 20 artists are given a set of challenges to complete. The goal of these challenges is to help the artist grow in areas that may need work, show off their artistic creativity, and give the judges something to critique!
Here are the 5 challenges set forth for the Top 20 of 2010:
1. Your first challenge is to create and document a viral video marketing you/your band being chosen for the top 20 of the PEAK Performance Project.
2. Play well known Canadian cover song in your set at the Red Room – make it your own!
3. Draft a proposal (not more than 5 pages) and budget (on excel spreadsheet) as to how you would spend the grand prize of $100.5 Thousand Dollars.
4. Public marketing initiative – street team or other grassroots, street level campaign – document for the final committee to review.
5. Give back to the community! Create a synergy between a community charity or group in need – document for the final committee to review.
Keep up-to-date with their progress on our PEAK Performance Project Facebook Page!
Good luck to our artists!
