Get your songs heard!
Your songs help make the transformative programs of Nordoff-Robbins Music Therapy Australia (Noro) possible, and the support is more impactful than ever before.
The full $50 per song entry fee goes to supporting Noro’s programs, which use creative music therapy to deliver significant and quantifiable benefits to children and adults with physical and intellectual disabilities, trauma, mental health problems, depression and medical illnesses, as well as learning, emotional and behavioural difficulties.
All prizes are donated by our generous sponsors and all admin staff and judges work on a voluntary basis.
It’s been a difficult time for anyone making music, so we are pleased to once again offer the 10x runner-up prizes of $1,000, made possible by an anonymous donor.
Thank you, songwriters!
ENTRIES CLOSE FRIDAY 8 OCTOBER, 11:59PM AEDT.
