Synopsis
A search for an unsigned band to be signed to a major label (Universal's A&M imprint) and receive what's described as "the all-important cash advance" - which seems to imply that the organisers don't expect the winning band to see much more money beyond that.

Where's the original act that will strike out in new directions and transform the face of popular music as we know it? We don't ask much...
