For the uninitiated, you might be asking yourself; air guitar competitions are real? Oh... they're real... and they are spectacular.



Come witness the spandex, the rock-n-roll, and the greatest thing you've maybe never seen before. Watch all levels of air guitarists compete in 2 rounds consisting of 60 second performances, where they will be judged on technical merit, stage presence, and "airness". Once all is said and done we will have crowned a champion for Austin. The champion will be flown out to New York City, for FREE to represent Austin and WIN the US Air Guitar Finals.



The winner of the National Finals will be crowned US champion and will receive a FREE trip to Finland to compete in the Air Guitar World Championships in August. The US has won the last two years and we must keep this streak going!
