Up and coming musicians could win the chance to perform alongside stars on the main stage of St Albans' Pub in the Park festival.
The annual event takes place at Verulamium Park from September 6 to 8, once again bringing a combination of food and music to the city.
The festival is teaming up with management agency Headline to run a competition which will see four local music artists support each of the four headliners.
Hopefuls should submit a video of them or their band playing, in hopes of making it through to August's heats, which will take place at The Pioneer Club.
A panel of expert judges will then select four acts to perform on the main stage in September.
The four headliners are Paloma Faith, Olly Murs, Scouting for Girls and Tinie Tempah.

Steve Lane of Pub in the Park said: "We're really excited to run this competition with Headliner to win a chance to perform on our main stage - something which is unique to the St Albans festival.
"We really wanted to get more involved with the community in St Albans this year and we know that the local music scene is thriving and is something the people in the area are very proud of, so we thought this would be a perfect opportunity to give some fledgling acts their first big break."
Headliner's Paul Watson added: "St Albans is so lucky to have Pub in the Park rock up every year in the stunning setting of Verulamium Park. It's a great festival celebrating music and food, which is for everyone, of every age, and it's a wonderful place for a new act to show what they've got and smash in on a main stage, alongside world-famous artists."
"Artists who fancy throwing their hat into the ring must do so by July 26, full details can be found @emergingheadliner on Instagram.
