Crawley MP Henry Smith is urging local musicians to enter Rock the House 2015, a competition celebrating young British artists with a prize of performing in Parliament.

Among the many prizes on offer include a once in a lifetime opportunity to perform on the House of Commons Terrace, as well as music equipment and masterclasses from professionals.

Mr Smith will nominate his favourite from each of six categories, after which a judging panel will select a shortlist of entrants from the nominations by MPs in each section.

The closing date for entries is 31st December 2014 with a live finals show on 18th March 2015.
