The National Campus Music Competition (previously known as the National Campus Band Competition) is an annual Australian music competition specifically for tertiary students. The comp was created in 1990 by members of the volunteer organisation, Australian Association of Campus Activities, which later become a part of the Tertiary Access Group (TAG). Since then, the National final has travelled around the country (Sydney, Melbourne, Perth, Lismore, Adelaide and Wollongong) and the competition has attracted more and more bands, as well as receiving great kudos from the music industry.

  • The National Campus Music Competition (previously known as the National Campus Band Competition) is an annual Australian music competition specifically for tertiary students. The comp was created in 1990 by members of the volunteer organisation, Australian Association of Campus Activities, which later become a part of the Tertiary Access Group (TAG). The first Adelaide Student Band Competition was held in 1983 and the Victorian Student Band Competition was held in 1986, after an observation by Activities Officers on campus, that there were hundreds of student bands with nowhere to play, and needed an extra incentive to have a go. The brain-child of a bunch of Campus Activities Officers was enacted by posters on campus, and the response was staggering. The competition was such a success that by 1990 it went national. During that year, campuses in every state ran competitions on a local level, with the finalists playing it off at the University of NSW. The first national winner was Helvelln, who later signed to Mushroom Records. A crowd 2,000 attended the night backed by sponsorship from the National Aids Education Campaign Unit and National Youth Radio Station Triple J. Since then, the National final has travelled around the country (Sydney, Melbourne, Perth, Lismore, Adelaide and Wollongong) and the competition has attracted more and more bands, as well as receiving great kudos from the music industry. In 2006, the overall winner of the competition received $8,000 worth of equipment, 3 days studio time and 3,000 mastered and duplicated CD’s. As Michael Gudinski of Mushroom Records once said, "The National Campus Band Competition is a great initiative. It gives new talent a chance for exposure. It is also a tremendous support to the Australian Music Industry." (en)
