The Tri-borough Music Hub and The Rhythm Studio are pleased to announce details of the Tri-borough Future Sounds competition for 2024.
This competition is for young musicians in Hammersmith & Fulham; Kensington & Chelsea; and Westminster. It is organised and run by the Tri-borough Music Hub in partnership with The Rhythm Studio, with a host of supporters involved with judging, prizes, and links to the music industry.
How will it work?
Any pop music act may enter the competition (band, solo artist, rapper, duo, trio…)
All acts will be invited to perform at a prelim event which will be judged by the Music Hub and The Rhythm Studio
Acts can perform one song at the prelim event – original or cover
A selection of 7 Acts will be shortlisted for the final.
The 7 finalists will be invited to perform two songs at Bush Hall for the finale, one original and one cover, with winners and prizes announced.
Who is this event for?
Pupils of secondary school age, 11-18, that attend a state-maintained school (including Free schools and Academies) in one of the three Tri-borough Local Authorities (RBKC, WCC, LBHF).
