New Music Competition
Entries to the New Music Competition for 2025 are now closed.
New Music Competition entrants will get the chance to play the New Music Stage at St Kilda Festival in 2025, and to be in the running for cold hard cash and musical glory.
This year, we're scouring the country to find up to 10 talented emerging artists/groups.
The selected acts will perform a 30-minute set of original material at the forthcoming St Kilda Festival on Sunday, 16 February 2025, with the crowd favourite taking home:
- A $5,000 cash prize
- An invitation to perform on one of our key stages at St Kilda Festival in 2026
Applicants will be assessed on creative flair, quality, originality, and must be an unsigned act. Additionally, the panel will look to ensure that our finalist group speaks to a diverse representation of the musical spectrum, and that the finalists are the right fit for a festival setting.
Stay tuned for the announcement of our talented finalists.
