Last night the 2014 competition was officially launched in Sydney, where 2013 winners Christopher Coleman and Helen Shanahan performed alongside Andy Bull and Ella Hooper at an event which was attended by a mix of VIPs, music industry guests and media.
This year two aspiring musicians will win a $15,000 music development fund and a trip to the United States to perform at the Americana Music Festival as well as ongoing performance and education opportunities.
