Sydneyvision Song Contest - Your Suburb Needs You!

Bands Of Sydney Your Suburb Needs You!

The Newtown Neighbourhood Centre with the support of the Dendy Newtown and the Sandringham Hotel are thrilled to announce the first ever Sydneyvision Song Contest.

SUBURB versus SUBURB

The Ultimate Musical Showdown

The contest entry rules are simple:
  • Film you (and your band if they exist) performing an original song (Video recordings are preferred in .mov format)
  • The song must contain the name of the suburb you claim to represent somewhere in the lyrics.
  • Send a copy to the Newtown Neighbourhood Centre along with a $10 entry fee.
and in deference to the Eurovision song contest and the high cultural standards that contests sets:
  • At least one of the performers must be wearing sequins OR wink shamelessly at the camera at some point of the song video.
The Grand Final at the Dendy Newtown: 14 finalists will be selected from the entries. These will be compiled for a special Grand Final screening at the Dendy Newtown on 25 August 2010 at 7:00pm where the winning Song of Sydney will be chosen.

The Prizes: As well as getting to know you have written the best song in the history of the world about Summer HIll, Erskineville or Rozelle, there will also be prizes:
  • First Prize:     $200 plus a 15 minute gig at the Newtown Festival
  • Second Prize: $150
  • Third Prize:    $100
The three winners will also get to perform at the Champions Night gig at the Sandringham Hotel on 9 September 2010.
