This year’s Liverpool Sound City music festival, taking place on 28th-29th May, is offering the opportunity for three talented students to break into the industry and take their first step onto the music media ladder.

Winners will be given the opportunity to cover the entirety of Liverpool Sound City, which is set to be home to a diverse range of huge acts and emerging talents from around the world.

Headliners include: The Coral, Catfish and The Bottlemen and Hot Chip (DJ Set) and Circa Waves, while Palma Violets, Georgia, Neon Waltz, Inheaven, Levelz, The Big Moon, Kagoule and Novelist  will also be performing.

The winning team will be made up of a photographer, journalist, and vlogger, who will all be given full media access to cover the festival for Sound City’s blog and social media platforms.

The vlogger and journalist will have the opportunity to interview one of Sound City’s huge artists, whilst the photographer will get the chance to capture the perfect shot in a main stage photo pit.

The competition closes on the 11th April

Sound City’s CEO, Dave Pichilingi said: ‘We’ve supported students for years through our conference and are delighted to launch this Sound City student competition to unearth media’s next big stars.

“There’s a huge amount of talented students out there that are perfecting their skills writing blogs, uploading vlogs to Youtube and posting shots on Instagram and we want to give them a platform to showcase their work.
