	News 03/31/2012 - Second Annual Ritchie Blackmore Protégé Shred Off Competition Announced The second annual Ritchie Blackmore Protégé Shred Off competition has been announced. Video entries will be accepted from March 20th at 12:01AM through April 7th, at 11:59PM. Each entry must feature the guitarist playing a Blackmore-esque lead guitar arrangement over a backing that is similarly in a DEEP PURPLE, RAINBOW, and/or BLACKMORE'S NIGHT VEIN way. No actual covers of Blackmore's lead guitar solos or songs will be allowed into the competition. Andy DiGelsomina, the composer-guitarist for the Wagnerian opera metal projectLyraka will be judging the competition again, along with Keith Langerman, the owner of Nightwatcher's House of Rock blog and Jim Manngard. The top prize will be announced on April 14th - Ritchie's 67th birthday. The winner will be awarded a plaque with the person's name, country of origin, and current year.
