A big congratulations to the songwriters who made it to the finalist and semi-finalist rounds of the prestigious International Songwriting Competition.
ISC received over 26,000 entries this year, and semi-finalists account for almost 9% of all entries. So, it's no small feat to make the cut, and goes to show how songwriters are looking for meaningful opportunities to get their music heard during the challenges of COVID-19.
And, Sydney represented songwriters with the most entries from any city in the world!
Songwriters from this region have a history of success in the high profile competition, with Tones And I taking out the grand prize last year and Vance Joy doing the same in 2014. Other previous winners include The Presets, Gotye, Kimbra, Missy Higgins, Matt Corby, David Le'aupepe, Kasey Chambers, Gin Wigmore, Flight Facilities, Augie March, Guy Sebastian, Sarah Blasko, Troy Cassar-Daley, Kate Miller-Heidke, Jebediah and many more.
Have a look through the amazing list of emerging and established songwriting and musical talent from this part of the world with Australia, New Zealand, Solomon Islands and Fiji all represented.
We'll update with the finalists when they are announced soon.
