Conceived in 2023, AOA’s Annual Battle of the Bands invites local and regional original groups to compete in a live face-off for a winning title and a prize that includes a $250 cash prize and a marketing package from the experts at Nicole J & Co, valued at nearly $3,000—including professional photos, a bespoke graphic design, and two short-form professional videos for social media and promotional purposes.

This interactive event sees bands competing with their original songs, and invites the audience to join a panel of judges in deciding one winning band.
