August 5 - 11 2013

Play VIC Week is a state-wide event on Victorian community radio. From August 5 - 11, community radio stations across Victoria are encouraged to feature Victorian singers, songwriters and bands.

In 2013, the Community Broadcasting Association of Victoria (CBAV) is again partnering with Music Victoria to present this fantastic event. This partnership has yielded a new online facility for singers and bands to offer music to radio stations, road trips by high profile musicians and extensive professional poster distribution.

'Victoria has such a wealth of musical talent, and such a strong network of community radio stations, that 'Play VIC Week' is a great initiative,'says Patrick Donovan, CEO of Music Victoria.

'As the peak body for contemporary music, the celebration and promotion of Victorian artists is one of our key goals. Many community stations are already supporting their local artists, but this is a great chance for broadcasters to seek out what else the state has to offer. Radio is still one of the best platforms for artists to gain exposure, and it’s great for listeners as well, because often they can go and see these artist play at their local venue.'

If you're a Victorian singer, songwriter, musician or performer, get in touch with the CBAV via [email protected] for your chance to get heard.
