People can submit a video entry of their own performance to the “Be Heard. Be Found.” tab on the Hennessy +Country Facebook page, submitting their music online for a chance to take their music to the Blues Passions festival stage.

All video entries will be judged by an esteemed judging panel including: Hennessy International, Blues Passions, and Clash Magazine before being given to the public to vote on the “Be Heard.
