Orange supports a number of arts projects and events in Scotland. They focus on three areas - film. fiction and music - and their sponsorship spans from the very top echelons down to grass root levels.

Last November, Orange supported The List‘s guide to the 50 Best Scottish Films of all Time, which asked the public to vote for their favourite Scottish film ever. This was followed by a screening of the winning movie Trainspotting.

The guide to the 50 Best Scottish Bands of all Time is a continuation from the Best Scottish Film Guide and we hope it will be even more successful in raising the profile of Scottish bands and music. We ask you to vote so you can help make sure the BEST band does win and we look forward to announcing this at King Tut Wah Wah‘s on Wednesday 12 January.

As well as getting hold of a free CD. this is also your last chance to vote for the band you want to see take the Best Scottish Band crown. There are over £5000 prizes to be won by simply texting the word VOTE and the name of your favourite Scottish band to 81800.
