The Australasian Association of Campus Activities has been running the National Campus Band Competition across Australian University and TAFE campuses for 20 years. Heats for 2009 will be held throughout August, with state finals in early September and a national final at Sea World on the Gold Coast on September 27.

As well as exposure and kudos, the winning band gets $5,000 cash from sponsor Glaceau Vitaminwater. Visit www.myspace.com/ncbcaustralia for more information.
