NANNUP EMERGING ARTISTS AWARD
The Nannup Music Festival is passionate and excited to support, nurture and encourage Emerging Artists. We are honoured to have the support from our incredible sponsors, which allows us to present the Nannup Emerging Artists Award.
Ten artists from our lineup are selected each year to take part in the award. They are asked to perform two original songs to a supportive audience and go in the running for recording time with Lee Buddle at Crank Recording and with James Newhouse from Lamb Chop (thank you to Totally Sound).
“Getting it out there” Punters Pick receives post awards interview to go statewide with their music featured on ABC Drive Program. Punters can vote on ABC-provided paper and a box will be placed at the Ticket Office.
Winners are selected by an industry pool of judges and announced at the opening of Sunday’s Amphitheatre night concert. They are also invited to perform at the following year’s festival.
Applications for the Nannup Emerging Artists Award are accepted as part of the general artist application process, open to all from 1st May to 31st June each year.
