Are you the next big arena act? Applications are invited from emerging musicians of any genre who reside in Western Australia. Your application should include an outline of an activity you would like to undertake throughout 2024, demonstrate how you plan to use the support fund, and the outcomes to your career that you expect as a result.
The winners will be chosen by a panel of local and interstate industry professionals. This year’s panel includes RAC Arena’s general manager Michael Scott, WAM board member Kristina West, Mackenzie Moor from Select Music Agency, Lemon Tree Music’s Kristie McCarthy, and artist manager Josh Terlick from Cut Above Collective.
