After a successful campaign last year, Bank of Melbourne will again be supporting the Melbourne Music Bank project, a community music initiative that gives up-and-coming artists a chance to break into the music industry. Victorian musicians and bands are asked to submit an original song and give themselves a chance to win the ultimate music career kick-starter pack, which includes:

“Two days of recording at Melbourne’s famous Sing Sing studios, a film clip by Oh Yeah Wow, album artwork, printed CDs and the chance of their winning song to feature in a Bank of Melbourne TV ad. This year the prize also includes the expertise of a dedicated A-team of the industry’s finest including management and mentoring by Chris Robinson, publicity by On The Map PR, radio plugging by Varrasso PR and gig bookings by 123 Agency.”

ARIA winner Ella Hooper will return as ambassador for the project. Last year’s winner was indie singer Héloise, who managed to not only get her song ‘This Is Home’ played on community radio around the country, but also sell out her single launch show at The Workers Club and perform at both Falls Festival and Melbourne City Mission’s Sleep At The G fundraiser.

To enter, musicians should submit their entry at www.bankofmelbourne.com.au/melbmusicbank before August 23. 

Musicians must be from Victoria. Four finalists will be voted by the public (from a shortlist of 12 entrants) who will then perform live on stage on October 8 at Melbourne’s iconic Arts Centre’s State Theatre in front of a panel of industry experts who will choose the winner. For those on the come up, this appears to be a perfect opportunity to get yourself out there–if you’re keen to give it a go, check out both the trailer above and the poster below, then immediately get to cooking up something in the lab.
