The Listen Up Music: Songwriter’s Festival aims to uncover the greatest new songwriting talent in the UK. We asked our entrants to submit a song responding to a specific theme, to help spread positive messages surrounding mental health. This year’s theme is “I am here”.

This year's Grand Final will include the top 12 songs (3, each, from our Edinburgh, Manchester and London events, plus 3 wildcard artists), out of a combined 2,780 entries across our UK and Australia festival, performing, live, in front of a panel of music industry judges. The winner will be crowned on the night and take home the coveted title of Listen Up Music: Songwriter's Festival overall UK winner.
