DISCOVERED at Marble bar, the competition for live bands and performers with a coveted prize of a ten-week residency at the iconic Sydney venue worth $10,000, has announced its professional judges.

Although the first portion of the comp is media driven, with the public deciding which contestants carry on to become the top five finalists, the second is adjudicated by media experts.

Those heavyweights include former Channel [V] presenter Danny Clayton, acclaimed singer-songwriter Mahalia Barnes, and Tim Kelly, managing director of Inertia Music. At the helm of this team will be Mathew Coyte the publisher of Rolling Stone Australia.

Entries are now open for artists and will close on 18 April.
