Now in its 11th year, The Songwriting Prize, presented by the award-winning mental health music charity Listen Up Music, is more than just a competition. It’s a vibrant community where songwriters can share their personal stories through music, all while showcasing some of Australia’s finest songwriting talent to delighted audiences.

Each year, songwriters are invited to submit original works based on a specific theme. This year, we’re exploring “The Next Chapter”, a theme that promises to inspire powerful and introspective musical narratives.

Your Bendigo Final line up is: Dan Duggan, The Darlings Family Trust, Isaac Staines, Jeremy Beggs, Kimberly Jane, Natasha Mills, Sasha Bronshtein, Soulty, and Steffii.

A live panel of esteemed industry judges will provide valuable feedback on each performance. The winner from this event will share in a prize pool of over $65,000 and be crowned the Bendigo Final Overall Winner.

With Regional Final events taking place all across Australia, join us to experience an unforgettable evening of live performances featuring the best songs from your region. You’ll not only hear incredible music, but also the personal stories that inspired each piece.
