Events as part of NA2R 2010…
Friday 10 September - The NA2R Workshop
The Finalists from this year’s NA2R program will be invited to attend the annual NA2R Workshop.
Speakers include Program and Music Directors from radio networks around the country, Sebastian Chase CEO, MGM Distribution; and Vicki Gordon, Managing Director VGM Media & Marketing.
The NA2R Workshop offers Finalists invaluable ‘money can’t buy’ access to establish and forge close and direct communications with influential commercial radio programmers. The Workshop is primarily designed to engage the artists and bands with a realistic perspective about commercial radio; to increase their knowledge of how music directors make their decisions, and to increase their chance of airplay on Australian commercial radio.
The workshop includes advice such as strategies for servicing a new song, maintaining radio profile, securing network support, how playlists and formats are developed, and what different stations are looking for with regard to new Australian music.
Friday 15 October & Saturday 15 October – Live Performances
One of the most valuable elements to the program is the live performance in front of the radio and music industry via the NA2R Showcase & the Australian Commercial Radio Awards (ACRAs). These events give winners the opportunity to perform live in front of key people from the commercial radio and music industries.
- NA2R Showcase – the two winners will perform at the New Artists 2 Radio Showcase in Melbourne on Friday 15 October 2010. The Showcase is attended by commercial radio music and program directors from all the major commercial and regional radio networks.
- Australian Commercial Radio Awards - based on the winner’s live performance at the Showcase, one artist will be selected by the NA2R committee to perform the following night at the Australian Commercial Radio Awards (ACRAs).
