THE new website for the Okehampton Battle of the Bands competition has gone live.

The site has received a major facelift, and now includes a 'BOTB Radio' page, where visitors can listen to songs performed by past and future Battle of the Bands entrants. There are also videos documenting last year's competition, photo galleries and a blog page.

The dates for the competition heats are Wednesday July 18, Wednesday July 25 and Wednesday August 1, with the spectacular Party in the Park finale planned for Saturday August 11.

Organisers will accept entries from March 1.
