We’ve teamed up with Young Henrys to give the winner of this year’s Needle in the Hay comp a full year of free beer from the Newtown-based brewing legends!
So if you haven’t gotten your application in for our vinyl competition just yet, maybe this will sweeten the deal.
Not only will the winner of Needle in the Hay get their album or EP immortalised in wax, they’ll be taking home a year of beer courtesy of Young Henrys.
What exactly does a year of beer entail? It’s one case per month, delivered anywhere in Australia. And they’re even going to the throw in a few seasonal longies, just in case the tins don’t get you through.
On top of the beer, Grand Prizewinners will receive 250 copies of their album or EP pressed to vinyl by Zenith Records, a high production video recorded at JMC Academy, and five customised Zippo lighters.
Entries close on the 26th of July, so have a read below of how to get your release involved!
