Newtown Neighbourhood Centre has announced Sydney’s answer to Eurovision, taking place this August.
The Sydneyvision Song Contest is a local spin on the world-renowned Eurivision, but with a twist. Firstly, applicants are asked to submit an original song and accompanying music video, with a deadline for entries of Monday August 1.
But here’s the catch: all entries must contain the name of a Sydney suburb somewhere within the lyrics, as well as show something ironic about that suburb. The 12 top entries will be selected for the final screening, to take place at Dendy Opera Quays.
The winner will take home the grand prize of $2,000, from $3,000 in total prizes, and will be featured at this year’s Newtown Festival.
Entries for Sydneyvision close on Monday August 1. For more info and how to enter, head to the Sydneyvision website here.
