Triple J Unearthed Is Looking For Australia's Best High School Music Acts

"Not only did I meet so many great people along the way, but I get to do what I’ve always wanted to do and be who I really am."

Triple J's Unearthed High competition is back for its 13th year which will look to find Australia's best high school music talent.

With previous winners including local favourites like Japanese Wallpaper, Gretta Ray and 2019 victor George Alice, the search is on again for 2020.

“I didn’t expect anything at all to come from Unearthed High, I honestly just wanted to be a part of it and to hopefully learn a thing or two from experience," Alice said.


"Not only did I meet so many great people along the way, but I get to do what I’ve always wanted to do and be who I really am. It’s still sinking in a year later, but winning Unearthed High really changed my life and gave me countless opportunities to succeed.”

To enter, participants simply need to upload an original piece of music to triple j Unearthed by midnight on Monday 24 August.

The winner will receive industry advice from the Unearthed team, as well as have triple j help record, mix or master their music to be played on the youth broadcaster.
