The countdown is on for Queensland songwriters and filmmakers to submit their songs and music videos into the 2020 Queensland Music Awards with self-nominations officially closing this Friday evening at 11:59pm (AEST).
“As a young up and coming regional artist, I can’t explain how honoured I felt to be a finalist for an Award, let alone 6! This was a really huge achievement for me personally to have my work being acknowledged and that everything I’ve been doing for the past 5 years has been totally worth it. If you are a songwriter, make sure you enter your songs!” – Tia Gostelow
“Even by just submitting my songs they were heard by influential music people, and that was a great kick-start for my career. I met the people that I currently work with today because of the Queensland Music Awards.” – Emma Louise

If you’re an emerging artist don’t miss your chance to apply to the $10,000 Billy Thorpe Scholarship. Applications are free, and close this Friday evening at 11:59pm (AEST).
“I won the Billy Thorpe Scholarship when we first started and literally bought my first guitar with the money. I’d been borrowing guitars from friends, so that was something special. Opportunities like that don’t come around so often, and it’s a beautiful thing that it came from my local community.” – Sam Hales, The Jungle Giants (2016 winner).

AMNPLIFY – DB
CLICK THE PIC TO VIEW THE NEWS
My nickname is “The Amnplifier”. Why? Because around here my focus is on being a conduit for providing greater outcomes that people come here for. My day to day “work” is living in the moment, and I love helping others concentrate on finding their connection to themselves through their experiences.
Why start a music environment? The truth is I love music, I love writing, and I love life. I work with musicians every day, and I feel certain that I will be until they put me in the ground. I have been managing people in businesses of some sort for over thirty five years so along the way I have developed some “wisdom” from my regular and constant “observations”.
Amnplify your experience. That is what we want you to do here, and if you want to let me know why you do, or don’t, shoot me a message on Facebook.
Hope you enjoy yourself here and find something that hits you somewhere.
