Finalists (9 bands) will be selected to perform a 3-song set at New Terrain on Thursday January 21, 2027 in front of a live audience and a panel of judges. The winner will be announced immediately following the contest.
Finalists should arrive by 5:30 pm for orientation. Performance order will be posted at that time.
This contest is open to string bands and non-string bands alike. The judging will be based on the "instrumental performance", "vocal performance - including use of harmony", and "overall performance". Favorable consideration will also be given to bands performing original songs (bands should introduce their original songs as such).
Congratulations to the 2026 Band Contest winners, Bouldergrass, who will play the UllrGrass Mainstage this year.
