The project will focus local, national and international attention on Brisbane’s best independent music to help identify and promote new talent.

Songs from the event will be sent for broadcast consideration to 4ZZZ and other local and National radio stations. A compilation CD of the best songs will be released internationally by MGM.

Last year, out of an astounding 431 applicants, only 72 acts were chosen to participate. They included familiar faces, highly respected, members of the Brisbane music scene, students, and relative unknowns, and represented a stylistic cross-section of Brisbane's world famous music scene. The results are outstanding. So far they include a 'top ten' 4ZZZ track, Whiteboard, penned by the brilliant Ben Salter, with many of the songs getting national airplay on Triple J.

Event: 20-25th May 2012
