The top five winners will be awarded generous cash prizes, and the best two will also win their own stage at the 2015 festival and will be invited by the Friendly Dog to perform at overseas concerts.
The Global Spring Wave Awards originated from the local Spring Wave Awards which was organized annually by the Friendly Dog since 2010. The First Global Spring Wave Awards launched last year and attracted over 200 submissions from Taiwan and abroad.
Traditionally, winners of the local Spring Wave Awards were given the chance to present their creative works at the Kenting festival of the same year, enjoying the same hardware facilities provided to popular musicians and having a great time with crowds of fans. The incentives have attracted more and more submissions from creative music artists over the years, with the number growing from some 40 in 2010 to 135 in 2013. The participants included Taiwanese and expatriates in Taiwan and also those from overseas. Artists from Hong Kong also competed to win the top place in 2013.
The Second Global Spring Wave Awards started taking submissions from Jan. 16 until March 8, 2015. Those interested please visit: or Facebook:
