Open to any live, original music act that was based within the City of Gold Coast during the eligibility period from 1 April 2021 – 31 March 2022 and performed (whether in person or virtual) live shows during this time.

The artist’s capacity and track record for touring outside of the city as well as the band’s professional reputation and promotional ability will also be considered. To be eligible, the artist(s) must reside within the City of Gold Coast. All entrants are assessed on their contribution to Gold Coast’s live music scene.
