triple j’s Unearthed High is back for 2021, and the winning high school students could win flights to Sydney to record, remix and master their songs at the triple j studios.
They will also receive professional industry advice from a senior music manager and a one-on-one mentoring session with their favourite artists.
Entry songs should be uploaded to triple j Unearthed profiles by Sunday 25 July at midnight (AEST).
Now in its 14th year, triple j’s Unearthed High competition has uncovered some of Australia’s heaviest hitters and exciting up-and-coming artists including The Kid Laroi, Genesis Owusu, Gretta Ray, Hockey Dad, KIAN and many more.
Adelaide duo Teenage Joans won the competition in 2020, and soon after went on to land a spot in triple j’s Hottest 100 with their song ‘Three Leaf Clover’.
“Just do it”, the reigning champs Teenage Joans say. “It’s such a cool competition because you learn so much from the experience and get to meet a whole heap of new friends. Through our experience we learnt so much about the Australian music scene.”
In addition to the major prize, the Unearthed High Indigenous Initiative gives First Nations entrants the chance to win ongoing mentorship from the Association of Artist Managers (AAM), as well as a song writing workshop at their school by the APRA AMCOS Songmakers program.
