Be a part of Australia’s longest running song competition, now in its 46th year, backed by a fantastic group of mighty Sponsors, who’ve ensured a great array of prizes are there for you to win.

Once the judging has taken place, the ASA will be excited to honour all Top 10 placegetters at the 2026 National Songwriting Awards.

Please note, if you are keen to get ASA Membership discounts on entry fees, and be eligible to win the Rudy Brandsma Award prize of a wonderful Maton Guitar (for members only), then the recommended way to join is to click the blue Become A Member button on the right-hand side of this Home Page. Do this prior to going to the Entry Platforms at the following URL:  https://asa.songcentral.com.au . Then, as you follow the prompts, simply say “yes” to the question asking if you are “entering as a ASA Member”, and all the benefits will kick in automatically for you. The close of Entries will be 31 May 2026.

Good luck – we can hardly wait to hear your work!
