The event as described by the rock and roll hall of fame.

The fortune battle of the corporate bands is an annual music competition for amateur company-sponsored bands in the united states, europe and australia. created in 2001, the contest's proceeds benefit the rock and roll hall of fame in cleveland, oh, which also serves as the location for the final round of the competition. the contest is currently sponsored by fortune magazine, the international music products association, gibson guitar corporation, continental airlines, air products & chemicals, keybank, and lavaworld International.

The competition is sometimes billed as a “celebration of musicians with day jobs”. a requirement is that all participants must be amateur musicians, and at least 50% of a band’s members must work for the same company.
