Nova Entertainment is collaborating with Warner Music to launch Nova’s Fresh Discovery competition.

Fresh Discovery is a national search for the best unsigned talent in Australia. The winner will receive a recording deal with Warner Music and a mentoring session with one of the world’s biggest artists.

Judges are looking for the cutting-edge, contemporary artists who have a vision for their music and their career, and who care about the music they create.

James Roberts, Head of A&R for Parlophone/Warner Music Australia said, “This is a really great opportunity for an emerging musician or band to accelerate their career in an artist-friendly way”.

Paul Jackson, Nova Entertainment Group Program Director said, “Nova’s Fresh Discovery is a great opportunity for the next talented artist to get their start in the music industry. We’re thrilled to be able to work with Warner Music to discover the next Australian music star.”

Nova’s Fresh Discovery is now accepting online auditions and will also be hosting live auditions in Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane, Adelaide and Perth from 18 to 22 March. Contestants must be over 14 years old and the competition is open to groups or solo artists.
