Judging for the regional finals round and national finals round will consist of the Standby Records staff and guest judges from the music industry. The finalists of each market will move on to a regional finals round where they will compete for prizes and a chance to go to the national finals held at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in Cleveland, OH.
