Now that you’ve all gotten showers and some sleep after a fantastic festival, we have a small request. We’ve put together this survey thingy and we’d love to hear your thoughts about AgapeFest 2009.

But we’re a crowd pleasing bunch here at AgapeFest HQ and we want to give back. SO. If you take our little survey we’ll enter you in a drawing for an AgapeFest Prize Pack with all sorts of goodies in it! We’ll be pulling one everyday until May 24th.

All you need to do is click this link and take our survey. We’ve already had one winner, so wish Bonnie Smith from Virginia, IL a congratulations!

We Need More Battlers

Guys, we need more bands to enter our Battle of the Bands this year. We don’t have as many entries as normal, so you’ve got a great chance (right now) of making your way to the end!

The prizes this year are amazing. Not only does the winning band/singer get the incredible thrill of playing in front of about 5000 people at AgapeFest 2009 — but the top slot winner will go on to compete in Word Record’s national talent competition in Nashville.

This could be your ticket to becoming a rock star! At the very least you can play one great rock show for your closest 5000 friends at AgapeFest 2009. Come on and get those entries in!

We Love You, and Love Rocks

Ah February. A season of candy, red and pink things, funny cards you give to your friends (or crushes), and Love Rocks giveaways for af09!

That’s right, it’s almost Valentine’s Day, and AgapeFest is your not-so-secret admirer. We’ve teamed up with a bunch of area Christian radio stations to give you a chance to win a free ticket to AgapeFest 2009. Get all the details after the jump.

AgapeFest 2009 wants to show you some love, so make sure you listen to one of these stations for your chance to score a full 2-day ticket to the festival.

Shine.FM 89.7 (Kankakee, IL) – Februrary 9-13

WBGL (Champaign, IL/Terre Haute, IN) – February 2-6

Battle of the Bands Now Open

Farebridge compete at the af08 Battle of the Bands

You’ve been waiting, we’ve been waiting. But today, the wait is over.

We are officially announcing that AgapeFest 2009 Battle of the Bands entry is now open.

There are exciting things about this year’s battle. First and foremost, the competition has higher stakes. Not only do the winners get to play Main Stage at AgapeFest 2009, but thanks to the Christian Festival Association and Word Label Group, the first place winning band or singer will go on to compete in Nashville, TN for a shot at an Artist Development Deal with a Word Records imprint (that’s a fancy word for one of their labels).

Like last year, entry is through Sonicbids.com which offers bands the ability to send press kits online to promoters all over the country.

There are a few more points and some official rules, so head over to the Battle of the Bands page to get all of the details.

We can’t wait to see you rock at this year’s AgapeFest Battle of the Bands, presented by Word Records.

Contest!

We need your help to rename our Second Stage at AgapeFest 2008. You know, the name “Second Stage” kind of sounds second-rate. And we have some AWESOME bands that play that stage. And really, it’s more of an extension of our Main Stage, not the loser-stage.

So we want those bands to feel like they are important to our festival, because they are important. So we want you to help us name the stage.

Leave your suggestions in the comments below and if we pick yours, we’ll send you an email. Then, when you get to the festival we might just have a special surprise waiting for you…

What are you waiting for?!?! Start thinking up names!
