5 amazing Singles & 4 Music Videos:

In late 2018 the WHYALLA RECORDING SCHOLARSHIP
announced not one but THREE Winners!

This year for the first time Entries were open to Original musicians
aged 12 to 21 from Regions stretching from Tumby Bay to Mount Remarkable.

Candidates submitted their music online, with Finalists
then chosen to be Auditioned and interviewed in Whyalla.

Judges for #WRS18 were Mark Tempany & Alison Hams from Stormfront Productions,
acclaimed singer songwriter Megan Laurie and 2017 WRS winner BREEZE Millard.

“The aim of WRS is to unearth the best young Original music talent in our Region, and then
tailor a prize to inspire & assist them to launch their music professionally to the world" Mr Tempany said.

"As far as we are aware there is nothing like WRS anywhere in Australia (or maybe the world)
and the fact we are entirely independent & able to operate totally "in-house" is exceptional" said Ms Hams.

The 2018 WRS WINNERS were:

17 y.o. LIBERTY TUOHY (from Port Neill)

and...

19 y.o. SHAKIRA LEA (from Whyalla/Port Lincoln)

The 2019 Whyalla Recording Scholarship JUNIOR WINNER was:

15 y.o. JAYLEE DANIELS (from Whyalla)

The Whyalla Recording Scholarship is an entirely philanthropic initiative
entirely sponsored by Whyalla's STORMFRONT PRODUCTIONS.

We're proud to recognise our...
2018 WRS JUDGES!

The 2018 Whyalla Recording Scholarship was OPEN to
young ORIGINAL musicians aged 12 to 21
with Entries closing on 29th June 2018!
