The former FReeZA program, Amplify is a funded program dedicated to emerging talent that is totally delivered by young people under the Foot In The Door program. 2025 will see the delivery of two genre based competitions for Rock and Folk & Blues with five artists competing in each category for the grand prize 15 minute set at this years Queenscliff Music Festival event.

The rock category will take to the stage on Friday 28 November. The category is not open to metal, emo, hardcore, and other genres that don’t fit into the ‘Queenscliff Music Festival style’, however it can include hip-hop, whilst the Folk and Blues winner will play on the Saturday 29 November. For acts that may fit into the genres of folk, blues, world, jazz, pop, singer/songwriter types. Bands and solo artists can fit into this section. Originality and a little ‘something different’ will go a long way in this section. All artists within the band must be between the age of 12 to 25 to be eligible.

Applicants must have their music uploaded to a digital platform to enter.

Applications are now open, closing Monday 22 September.
