Having now completed it's third year, The Dorset Unsigned Music Awards is a competition to find the best-unsigned live act in Dorset. The Dorset Unsigned Music Awards is not just another competition, but it is uniquely positioned to showcase the most gifted talent around, featuring some of the best up 'n' coming musicians in the region.

The winner of the competition gets to play a set at the prestigious Larmer Tree Festival in the summer and gets to keep the trophy for the year in which they win.
