Centre stage of The Hub will become alight with Central Coast’s brightest young stars on this night! Presented by The HUB  and sponsored by Sea Fm,  Better Futures, Gina Jeffreys Singing Workshops & Macron Music plus percentage of the money raised from the events will also support youth charity Musicians Making A Difference.

The event will give rise to young aspiring singer/songwriters and talented vocalists between the ages of 12 & 25 years of age and will offer up to $10,000 in prizes to help them kick start their career! 

Young entertainers will share the spotlight over three heats, each hoping to wow the audience & our special panel of star judges with one polished performance each.

Up to four lucky young people from each heat will be given a golden pass through to the DISCOVERED Grand Final in December, where our panel of music industry experts will brand the winning performer the “2011 Discovery of the Central Coast”. Gotta be in it to win it!
