The Listen Up Music Songwriter's Festival aims to uncover the greatest new songwriting talent in Australia. We asked our entrants to submit a song responding to a specific theme, to help spread positive messages surrounding mental health. This year's theme is "I am here".

This year we return to Sydney, but this time to iconic Leadbelly Newtown, with the top ten entries from ACT and NSW performing, live, in front of a panel of music industry judges. The top 3 from the night will be chosen to go forward to the Grand Final, in Sydney, in November.

Abbey Gardner Music - War Child
Ben Leece - Stuck To My Guns
Chelsea Berman - Wishing On A Shooting Star
D.Minor - Sudden Change
Isadora Music - Don't Be Shy
Jess Stillone - Fall
Nyssa and Alex - Nobody
Old Cities - Again
Romisounds - Inclination
SPENCER - Another Girl
