The festival takes place in Historic Helena, Arkansas home to blues legends Robert Johnson, Sonny Boy Williamson, and at one time Muddy Waters.

Artist are selected to participate in the contest for several reasons, original music, blues traditions, and the festival organizers hope that while these new artist sit around backstage with blues legends they will learn first hand the history of the music As part of the winning package Mr. Shomakhov and his band will travel to Helena to perform at the 2008 Festival October 9-11, 2008 and play on the Sonny Boy Williamson Main Stage.
