How to enter

Entering Pacific Break is easy!

You need to provide us with your original work and a signed entry form.

You can enter online, by mail or in person at one of our drop off locations.

Entries close on 1 September 2010.

Your entry will be checked to make sure you adhere to the terms and conditions of the competition. We’ll contact you to confirm receipt of your entry so make sure you contact details are accurate and up to date.

The winner will be announced in September and will play at Fest’napuan in October 2010. You’ll be able to download the best entries from this site and hear them played on In the Loop.

Who can enter?

We've received a lot of questions about which artists are eligible to enter Pacific Break — particularly with regard to recording and publishing contracts.

Pacific Break is dedicated to providing raw, undiscovered artists with an opportunity — this means that we want to hear from artists who do not have a commercial publishing or recording contract. That is: if you've never received payment for song-writing or recording, and you're the copyright owner of your music, you're good to go!

If you have a publishing arrangement where you've simply paid a studio or publishing house to record your music, you're still eligible to enter.
