If you’re under 18, we have a great competition for you to win the chance to work with The Comet and Rhythms of the World teams in July 2012.
Rhythms of the World and The Comet have teamed up to offer a young photographer and a young reporter an amazing opportunity to get their work in front of thousands of people in 2012. By entering our competition, two talented individuals will win a weekend pass to the Rhythms of the World festival (that means you can check out the action on every stage all day, on both days) as well as a work experience opportunity at The Comet.
This is your chance to experience a unique festival which represents all that’s best in the local and global community, featuring all that’s new in culture and creativity; while showcasing some outstanding musicians and artists from the local area and around the world.
Headlining artists at this year’s festival include Juju (winners of the Mojo magazine album of the year in 2011), Jassi Sidhu, The Damned, Young Knives and The Boxettes. Add a bit of Speech Debelle, Molotov Jukebox and Blair Dunlop and there really promises to be something for everyone to enjoy.
