The UpStart Award is an annual grant of $10,000 to an emerging Victoria singer-songwriter. The award is funded by a music loving family in Melbourne and the winner will be decided by a panel of local artists and music experts.
You might still be busking, you may have recorded a few tracks or you might be playing pub gigs; but you’re not on the map yet.
The award will be adjudicated by a panel consisting of Victorian artists Angie MacMahon and Shane Howard, and a range of industry experts from community radio, retail, and streaming services.
Applications are open now and close at midnight August 31. The winner will be announced in mid-November.
All entries should be sent to info@upstart.org.au.
For more details and info on who can enter, head to upstart.org.au.
