The annual Act-Belong-Commit Breakthrough Music Competition registrations are now open and the City of Rockingham is encouraging local young musicians to apply for their chance to win.
The competition provides young people aged 12-24 with an opportunity to showcase their musical talents and also creates a potential pathway for those wanting to develop a career in the music industry.
This years entrants will have the chance to win from a prize pool worth $10,000 which includes a studio recording opportunity, photo shoots and gift vouchers.
The competition will be hosted online for the first time, with all heats and the Breakthrough final to be filmed and recorded at the Take Eight Productions Studios in Rockingham before being broadcasted on YouTube the following day.
