Announcing the Needle In The Hay Finalist’s for 2023!

Hand-picked from over 1600 entries, here are the 40 finalists who made the final cut in our Needle In The Hay vinyl competition

Our latest Needle In The Hay vinyl competition was our biggest to date, with over 1600 singles entered from both here and our cousins over the Tasman.

Sifting through them was a monster task, and despite promising a top 30, we went above and beyond, finally landing on 40. A massive shout-out to Minor Figures and our Prize Partners and for making Needle In The Hay possible.
