Q Song Awards Entries Now Open

The 5th annual Q Song Awards are now open for entry. The competition provides up and coming songwriters the chance to share in $35 000 in cash and prizes and build their profile.

With Queensland's musical presence growing both nationally and internationally, more than 6500 songs have been entered in every genre over the past four years.

”Here we are with Q Song now in it’s 5th year of celebrating the wealth of song writing talent in Queensland. Q Song celebrates both our emerging artists from our schools categories, through to our established artists who are currently taking on the world at international events like Canadian Music Week and SXSW", said Q Music executive officer Denise Foley.

Unpublished songwriters can enter in categories including rock, pop, jazz, blues/roots, folk/ballad, world, urban, alternative and many more.

Past winners include Kate Miller-Heidke, The Boatpeople, The John Steel Singers, Robert Foster, Kev Carmody, Ben Salter, Timothy Carroll, Kate Bradley, Jackie Marshall, Tim Steward, James Grehan and 8 Ball Aitken.

Entries are now open, and you can enter online at www.qsong.com.au

The 5th annual Q Song Awards ceremony will be held at The Tivoli on August 10.
