“The Valley Vibes Music Competition is more than just a contest, it’s a celebration of creativity and self-expression,” Ms Rowsell says.

“We are looking for original artists, either solo or in a band, to step into the limelight and make their mark. All solo artists and band members must be within the 12 to 24 age range.”

There will be two heats, one at the Cobargo Youth Festival on Saturday 19 August and the other at Bega High School on Friday 1 September.

The winners will then compete in the final at the Tathra Youth Festival on Saturday 16 September.

“The winning band at the Tathra Youth Festival will get the opportunity to play a 30-minute set from Sam’s Caravan stage at this year’s Wanderer Festival and the winning solo artist will receive two VIP tickets to the Wanderer Festival,” Ms Rowsell says.
