Songwriters

Songwriters - Create Next Eurovision Anthem (Or At Least Very Memorable B-Side)

Your song could be next international sensation! Or at least get proper applause in Adelaide.

Listen, we need songs! Not just ANY songs – we need EUROVISION songs! Songs with passion, drama, key changes that make audience gasp, lyrics about love or politics or possibly dragons. Songs that make people want to vote, wave flags, and remember melody for days (whether they want to or not).

We’re looking for original material from songwriters everywhere to be included in our 2026 Adelaide production. This year we share the love wider than ever – India, Latin America, Asia, Africa, Australia, PLUS our beloved European countries: Hungary, Germany, Greece, Italy, Ireland, Ukraine, and United Kingdom. Is like United Nations, but with better costumes and more glitter!

What We Want:

Eurovision-style songs – any genre, any vibe! Could be ballad that makes babushka cry, pop banger that makes teenagers scream, or folk song with surprising dubstep breakdown. We are open-minded like Scandinavian social policy!

Your background? Doesn’t matter! Could be experienced professional songwriter, or person who just wrote first song last Tuesday. Young, old, from anywhere in world – if song is good, we want it!

Requirements:

Original material (no stealing, even from yourself if you sold rights already)
About three minutes long (we give exact time in FAQ below)
Must make people FEEL something (even if is confusion)

What Happens If We Love Your Song:

If we select your masterpiece, YOU could perform it yourself at Club Eurovision in front of live audience who will give your song all the support and love you can bear (is quite lot of love – our audiences very enthusiastic, possibly over-caffeinated).

OR, if circumstances require (maybe you live in Mongolia, maybe you cannot sing own phone number without going off-key, maybe you just prefer not to), we find someone else to perform it. Either way, YOUR song gets moment in spotlight with proper production, real audience, and actual voting!

Here's what the critics think!

THE ADVERTISER

an inspired parody which often surpasses the quality of the real Euro Song contest

VARIETY

Destined to become this year’s major Australian cult musical…hilarious! …..dazzles with kitschy brilliance and beguiles with its all-embracing multicultural humour.

ARTS HUB

Don’t expect to stay quiet for this one…clever, naughty and delightfully cheesy night out. A breathless and infectious homage to Eurovision. Must not be missed, see a cult hit in the making – you certainly won’t be disappointed

THE AUSTRALIAN

Why is this parody of a parody so ridiculously enjoyable? … best of all Song Contest takes full advantage of the live experience

THE BLURB

There is no reason to believe that Song Contest Almost Eurovision – like the real thing – won’t develop a cult following to perhaps (or perhaps not) even rival The Rocky Horror Show!

THEATRE PEOPLE

The energy in Song Contest is unlike any I have ever felt before at a new musical… utterly hilarious… this is a laugh out loud musical gem
