Thanks to all the bands and artists that have applied to the project. We listened to every song, including the rest of the work published in Soundcloud and other sites in some cases, trying to have a general view of each band. Thank you for applying to us. The selection was very difficult, so keep working hard. For those bands that were not selected, remember that music is not a competition. Keep the faith in your work and go on doing what you like. We will still listen to your work if you want to submit to our blog for normal posts at our submissions group here. Thank you again and all the best. - The Jungle Team

- During the selection we will check your track, other tracks, previous works, videos, band biography, etc.

- We will value the band or artist in its whole work.

- We won't value "number of followers" in social media. We don't care about that.

- We recommend you to have your bio and all your links in your websites and social media, to know more about you.

   Jungle Bands Benefits

- Jungle bands will be posted in our website, with a special article that will have a short review, bio, discography, videography, interview and band sites links.

- We will promote your work in our website, blogs, social media.

- Jungle bands have preference over the rest of bands that we feature in this blog. Any time a Jungle band releases a new work it is posted right away. This includes bands from previous editions as well. 

- We will advice and help you on what ever is in our hand.

- We will help with the promotion of your gigs in our social media.

- At the end of the year we will have a band contest with the 12 participating band, to choose our band of the year.

- Our band of the year will be selected by music experts. Jungle readers will collaborate but won’t be decisive.
