"For an up and coming group, the chance to play at Urban Country is the perfect way to showcase your talent to thousands of ardent music fans," Mayor Sutherland said.
"It’s a rare opportunity, to share the stage with a number of country music greats like Lee Kernaghan, John Williamson and Troy Cassar-Daley.”
Mayor Sutherland said there was no time like the present to kick-start your band’s career.
“I’m encouraging all bands that call the Moreton Bay Region home to get involved and upload their best track for a chance to win.
“It has been competitions like this one that have seen a number of bands embark on nationwide tours – and now it’s your turn,” Mayor Sutherland said
